FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket features a DWR finish which provides water resistance for light rain or drizzle. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements. The jacket also features an adjustable shockcord hem which can be tightened for a snugger fit.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer layer over thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, walking, or casual wear in cool, windy, or mildly wet conditions. It's also practical for work environments requiring mobility and protection from light elements.

How often should I reapply the DWR finish?

The need to reapply depends on usage and washing. If water no longer beads on the surface, it's time to consider reapplying a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

What does 'softshell' mean in this context?

Softshell refers to a type of fabric that is soft, breathable, and offers stretch, along with wind and water resistance. It's designed for comfort and versatility in various weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy after activity.

This can occur if the jacket is exposed to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the full zip is open or partially open to increase ventilation. The breathable fabric works best with a differential in temperature and humidity between the inside and outside.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish provides water resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a more waterproof garment. The DWR finish may also need refreshing; consult care label for re-waterproofing instructions.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth, then move the zipper up and down several times.
