FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket features a water-repellent treatment which is effective against light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
How should I clean my EA7 Padded Hooded Jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing directly on the logo or stitching, and do not dry clean.
Does this jacket provide enough warmth for winter?
The jacket has light padding for warmth, making it suitable for cool temperatures in fall or mild winter conditions. For very cold winter weather, we recommend layering it with additional thermal garments.
What is the dust bag for?
The convenient dust bag is provided for easy and compact storage of your jacket, especially useful when traveling or storing it during off-seasons. It helps keep the jacket clean and protected.
What does 'recycled technical fabric' mean?
This means the jacket is made from polyester fibers that have been recycled from post-consumer waste, reducing environmental impact. The 'technical' aspect refers to the fabric being engineered for performance properties like durability, wind-resistance, and breathability.
Can I wear this jacket for intense sports?
While it offers freedom of movement and is breathable, it's primarily designed for light outdoor activities and casual wear. For high-intensity sports, you might prefer specialized apparel engineered for maximum ventilation and sweat-wicking.
Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem as water-repellent as before.
Over time, the water-repellent treatment can wear off. You can restore it by washing the jacket with a technical fabric cleaner and then applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for outerwear. Always follow product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and gently remove it. If the zipper is still stiff, a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite stick or wax) can be applied to the teeth to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels less warm or insulation seems clumped.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce insulation effectiveness. After washing, tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls to help fluff up the padding and evenly redistribute it.
Unpleasant odor develops in the jacket.
This often happens if the jacket is stored damp or not aired out properly. Wash the jacket following the care instructions. For stubborn odors, try adding a cup of white vinegar to the wash cycle (in the fabric softener dispenser) or using a specialized sports apparel detergent.

This jacket requires no special setup; simply wear it as needed. It's designed to be compatible with various outfits, from athletic wear to casual clothing, and can be easily layered over a t-shirt or a light long-sleeve top. For optimal performance and longevity, follow these care instructions:
- Care: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. It is recommended to close all zippers before washing. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or, preferably, hang to air dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric and padding. Do not iron directly on the logo or wave stitching. Avoid dry cleaning as harsh chemicals can degrade the water-repellent treatment and fabric.
- Compatibility: The jacket's lightweight design makes it suitable for layering. It pairs well with athletic leggings, joggers, or casual jeans. You can also layer it under a heavier, waterproof shell for more extreme weather conditions, or over a base layer for active pursuits.
- Storage: Utilize the provided dust bag for neat and compact storage when traveling or when the jacket is off-season. Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
