FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is fleece-lined for warmth and is water/wind resistant, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. For very cold weather, layering with additional insulating garments is recommended.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the hem and cuffs using the provided adjusters to create a snug fit. The adjustable hood also helps customize the fit around the head.
Can I wear this jacket for running?
While breathable, the jacket's design is specifically optimized for cycling with a longer back. It can be worn for running, but a dedicated running jacket might offer a more streamlined fit.
What is the best way to wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Refer to the 'Care Instructions' section for full details.
Does the 'scooped back' feature make it too long for everyday wear?
The scooped back is designed to provide extra coverage when leaning forward, such as when cycling. For general wear, it offers a bit more protection, but the cut is typically still manageable for casual use.
How durable is the water and wind resistance?
The fabric offers good initial resistance. Like most technical fabrics, its performance can be maintained with proper care and periodic re-application of water-repellent treatments if needed.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Use a technical wash or a specialized re-proofer suitable for softshell fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down to free it.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can indicate that the jacket's breathability is being overwhelmed by high exertion or high humidity. Ensure all vents (if any) are open and consider wearing lighter, moisture-wicking base layers.
