FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features Omni-Shield™ advanced water repellency, which is designed for light rain and splashes. For heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket would be recommended.

How do I determine the correct size?

The jacket has a regular fit. We recommend referring to the size chart and measuring your chest and waist to select the size that best matches your usual fit.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This is a lightweight windbreaker designed for transitional weather. It can be layered over warmer clothing for added insulation in cooler temperatures, but it is not designed as a heavy winter coat.

What does Omni-Shield™ technology do?

Omni-Shield™ technology provides advanced repellency against water and stains. It helps liquids bead up and roll off the fabric surface, keeping you drier and cleaner.

How do I wash and care for the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach only when needed. Tumble dry on a low setting. Do not iron or dry clean.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zippered for secure storage, but they are not designed to be waterproof. They will offer protection from light splashes and wind, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow moisture to penetrate.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or oils, which can degrade water repellency. Follow care instructions carefully; avoid fabric softeners and excessive heat during drying. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary over time.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Hood drawcord is loose or not adjusting properly.

Check the cord lock mechanism for any debris or damage. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the lock. If the cord itself is frayed, it may need replacement.
