FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The main fabric is 100% Polyamide, with a secondary main fabric of 100% Polyester. It features a soft brushed polyester interior.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket offers weather resistance, meaning it can protect against wind and light rain or snow, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
It is suitable for cold mornings as a standalone piece or as a layering component. For very cold conditions, layer it over insulating clothing like fleece or down.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features an adjustable drawcord and fastener. Tighten the drawcord to secure the hood around your head for better protection.
Is the hood detachable?
Yes, the hood is detachable, allowing you to remove it for different weather conditions or preferences.
What does 'ripstop capped shoulders' mean?
Ripstop is a weaving technique that makes fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. Capped shoulders with this material add extra durability to this high-wear area of the jacket.
What kind of zipper is used?
The jacket features a YKK® Zipper for the front closure, known for its durability and reliable performance.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the zipper is clear of fabric. Gently try to move it. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels tight or restrictive
This jacket is designed with stretch, but ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. If it consistently feels too tight, consider if the XS size is the correct fit for your body measurements.
Hood does not stay in place
Adjust the drawcord and fastener on the hood for a secure fit. Ensure the hood is correctly attached if it was removed.
Color fading after washing
Follow the care instructions precisely: use lukewarm water, avoid harsh detergents, and do not expose to direct sunlight while drying if possible. Iron on low heat.
