FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The Richmond Stretch Workwear Jacket is constructed from high-quality, durable polyester engineered for both stretch and resilience.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling overheated during moderate activity.
Open the pit zips to increase ventilation and ensure base layers are moisture-wicking and not heavy cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires minimal setup; simply adjust the cuffs and hem drawcords to achieve the desired fit. For care, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cool water with a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating. To maintain the H2OShield performance, the jacket should be tumble-dried on a low setting or air-dried, followed by a light heat treatment if the manufacturer-specific instructions allow to reactivate the water-repellent finish. Always check the internal garment tags before using harsh cleaning agents or high-heat irons.
