FAQs
Can I wear the fleece and outer jacket separately?
Yes, the jacket is designed as a 3-in-1 system. The inner fleece can be zipped out and worn on its own, and the waterproof outer shell can also be worn independently.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, then tumble dry on a low heat to help maintain water repellency. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does 'peached polyester finish' mean?
This refers to a finishing process that gives the polyester fabric a soft, velvety texture, similar to the skin of a peach, making it more comfortable against the skin.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is concealed and adjustable, designed to be tucked away. It is not detachable but can be zipped up or down as needed.
What are 'taped seams'?
Taped seams are a waterproofing technique where a special tape is sealed over the stitches on the inside of the garment to prevent water from leaking through the needle holes.
What is the benefit of the 'concealed zip entrance in lining for embroidery access'?
This feature allows for easy application of custom logos or branding onto the jacket without compromising the outer waterproof layer.
What material is the inner fleece made of?
The inner fleece is made from a warming 200 series anti-pill Symmetry fleece, designed for warmth and durability.
Troubleshooting
Outer jacket not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure the DWR finish is reactivated by tumble drying on a low heat or by applying a specific DWR re-proofer spray after washing.
Inner fleece is difficult to zip into the outer shell
Ensure both the outer jacket and inner fleece are laid flat and aligned correctly. Make sure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Zip slowly and carefully.
Water seeping through seams
Check if the seams are still properly taped. If taping appears damaged, contact customer support. Ensure no detergents that could degrade the waterproofing have been used.
Fleece pilling excessively
This is typically a sign of wear and tear. While the fleece is anti-pill, extensive friction or improper washing can still cause minor pilling. Ensure washing is done according to care instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The Defender 3-in-1 jacket is designed for immediate use. The inner fleece is typically attached to the outer shell via internal zips and buttons at the cuffs and collar. To separate the layers, simply unzip the fleece from the outer jacket and detach any fastening points. To combine them, reverse this process, ensuring the fleece zips smoothly into the outer shell.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a single unit and is not intended for mixing with other garments beyond its intended 3-in-1 configuration.
Care: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and durable qualities:
- Washing: Machine wash the jacket (both layers if combined, or separately if detached) using a gentle cycle with the zippers fastened. Use a mild detergent; avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Drying: Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a sports wash or similar product to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not iron.
- Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, re-apply a DWR treatment periodically, following the product's instructions.
