FAQs

What does 'softshell' mean for this jacket?

Softshell fabric is typically a blend of materials that offers a good balance of flexibility, breathability, water resistance, and wind resistance, providing comfort for active use.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof and breathable, designed for protection against moderate rain and wind. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof shell jacket might be more appropriate.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the approximate chest measurements provided in the description (e.g., XL: 109-112cm). Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart to find the best fit.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, the jacket provides wind resistance and can be layered over warmer clothing like a fleece or insulated mid-layer for colder conditions. It is not an insulated jacket on its own.

What are the chest measurements for an XL size?

For an XL size, the approximate chest measurement is 109-112cm.

How many pockets does this jacket have?

The jacket features three zipped pockets: two lower hand pockets and one chest pocket.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% softshell Nylon.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams. Re-waterproof using a specialized spray or wash-in treatment if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate that moisture vapor is not escaping quickly enough, often due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the jacket's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue; wash according to care instructions. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen it.
