FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
This jacket is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and moisture, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged downpours.
What is the fit like?
It features a regular fit, which is designed to be true to size and allows for comfortable layering underneath.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It provides little insulation, so it is best suited for transitional weather. You would likely need a heavy sweater or base layer for colder days.
How should I wash the jacket?
Use a delicate wash cycle with cold water and avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners to protect the material's finish.
Does it have internal pockets?
The design focuses on a clean exterior, with pockets tailored for accessibility; check the specific interior lining for any dedicated small-item storage.
Troubleshooting
Water beading is no longer effective
The water-repellent finish may wear off over time; consider applying a standard fabric-safe water repellent spray after a gentle wash.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant or graphite to the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-resistant properties of the nylon fabric, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to avoid damaging the synthetic fibers. Always turn the jacket inside out before washing.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the water-resistant coating and the integrity of the fabric.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape. Avoid leaving it crumpled in small bags for extended periods.
- Compatibility: The neutral black color makes this piece highly compatible with various wardrobe items, ranging from dark denim jeans to chinos or athletic joggers.
