FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter weather?
The jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing beneath it for added warmth.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free indicates that the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered environmentally harmful.
Can I wear this jacket for activities other than sailing?
Yes, the jacket is versatile and suitable for various outdoor activities, including hiking, city commutes, and general travel, due to its waterproof, windproof, and breathable features.
How should I adjust the fit?
You can personalize the fit using the adjustable cuffs with hook-and-loop fasteners and the adjustable drawcord located at the hem of the jacket.
What is the purpose of the brushed fleece collar and hand pockets?
These areas are lined with brushed fleece to provide extra warmth and comfort against the skin, especially in cool or windy conditions.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle at 40°C.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading off the fabric as effectively.
The DWR treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable DWR spray, following the product's guidelines.
Jacket feels less waterproof after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impact fabric performance. Consider a reapplication of DWR treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly and apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
Sleeves are difficult to slide on over other clothing.
Ensure the inner lining is clean and dry. The taffeta lining is designed for ease of use; if snagging occurs, check for loose threads or damage to the lining.
