FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features a water-resistant softshell fabric with a membrane and DWR treatment, providing protection against light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged heavy rain.

What is the primary material?

The main fabric is a blend of 94% Polyester and 6% Elastane (290 g/m²), designed for durability and flexibility.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is best suited for moderate temperatures or as a layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Does it have a hood?

This specific model, the Manchester 2.0 Softshell Jacket, does not feature a hood. It is designed with a collar.

What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?

Articulated sleeves are pre-shaped and cut to allow for a greater range of motion, ensuring the jacket doesn't pull or restrict movement when you raise your arms or bend.

Are there other colors or sizes available?

Yes, this jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please refer to the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water repellent

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper area is clean and free of debris. Gently run a graphite pencil or wax along the zipper teeth. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Fleece collar feels rough

This is uncommon, but ensure the jacket is washed according to care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the fleece lining.

Jacket feels too restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The articulated sleeves are designed for mobility, but if you are layering heavily underneath, consider a size up for more room.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup, as it is designed for immediate use. Its compatibility is broad, functioning as a standalone piece or as a mid-layer in colder conditions. To maintain its performance and longevity:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with mild soap. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can degrade the DWR treatment and membrane.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not iron.
  • Re-applying DWR: Over time, the DWR treatment may wear off. Reapply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel following the product's instructions to restore water repellency. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
