FAQs

What is Omni-Shield™ technology?

Omni-Shield™ is an advanced repellency technology that resists moisture and stains. It helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, keeping the garment drier and cleaner.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

This windbreaker is designed for light to moderate rain and unpredictable weather. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a drawcord. Pull both ends of the cord to tighten the hood around your face for a more secure fit, and release to loosen.

What material is the windbreaker made of?

The windbreaker is made from 100% Nylon, providing a durable and lightweight outer layer.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The windbreaker is primarily for protection against wind and light moisture. It is best worn as an outer layer over warmer clothing in cooler temperatures, rather than as a standalone insulated jacket for extreme cold.

How should I wash the windbreaker to preserve its features?

Machine wash cold with like colors and a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron decoration or dry clean.

What does 'Novelty' refer to in the product name?

The 'Novelty' in the name refers to the unique design elements, specifically the treebark pattern colour blocking, which distinguishes it from standard windbreaker designs.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes after washing. If performance is still low, consider applying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Zipper is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully try to free the material. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.

Garment feels damp inside after light rain.

Ensure all closures (hood, cuffs, zipper) were properly fastened. The garment's breathability might be limited in humid conditions, or significant moisture may have saturated the outer fabric.

Minor stains are visible.

For fresh stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Refer to the care instructions for washing the entire garment if needed.
