FAQs
What is Omni-Heat™ thermal reflective technology?
It's a breathable membrane that reflects your body heat back to you, helping you stay warmer in cool conditions without adding bulk.
How effective is the Omni-Shield™ water repellency?
Omni-Shield™ resists light rain, splashes, and stains. It is not a full waterproof treatment, so it may not keep you dry in heavy downpours.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
It provides good warmth for its weight, but for very cold conditions, it's best used as part of a layering system with a warm base layer and potentially an insulating mid-layer.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is primarily made of 100% recycled polyester, with Thermarator™ insulation.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent due to the Omni-Shield™ treatment, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to protect against light moisture and splashes.
How do I wash and care for the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Do not iron or dry clean.
What is the fit like?
The jacket is designed for an adult female fit. While it offers comfortable stretch cuffs, some users find the sizing runs slightly small, so checking the size chart is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the Omni-Heat™ reflective lining is facing inward towards your body. For colder conditions, consider layering with a base layer and mid-layer.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Omni-Shield™ treatment may need refreshing. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat, which can reactivate the repellent finish. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Pilling on fleece areas
Pilling is a natural occurrence with fleece. To minimize, wash inside out and avoid abrasive contact. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills.
