Product Information

Full details

This Mountain Warehouse Vortex Longline Padded Jacket in Blue (Size M) is designed for adult males seeking robust protection against cold weather. Its key benefit is exceptional warmth, tested to -30°C, with a water-resistant finish. A potential caveat is its longline design, which may be less practical for highly active pursuits requiring maximum freedom of movement. The jacket features a grown-on hood, full zip fastening, and two side zip pockets, constructed from 100% polyester with synthetic fibre filling.

FAQs

What does 'Thermal Tested -30°C' mean?

This indicates the jacket has been tested in laboratory conditions and is designed to provide thermal protection down to -30 degrees Celsius. Actual performance may vary based on individual metabolism, activity level, and other environmental factors.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the size guide provided. For size M, the chest measurement is 40 inches. It is recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it with the guide.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the jacket features a 'Grown On Hood', meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

The jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, making it water-resistant against light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What kind of filling does the jacket have?

The jacket is filled with Synthetic Fibre, chosen for its insulating properties.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What is the length of the jacket?

The jacket is described as 'Long Length', providing extended coverage beyond a standard jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as warm as expected.

Ensure the full zip is closed and the hood is adjusted snugly. Check that the DWR finish is intact; if not, consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment. Synthetic insulation can lose loft if compressed for long periods; ensure it has been properly aired out.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash. Check seam seals if applicable, though this model focuses on the outer fabric's resistance.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper teeth are free from debris, lint, or threads. Gently try to clean the teeth with a soft brush. Lubricate the zipper with graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
