FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent treatment designed to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not fully waterproof and would eventually saturate in heavy or prolonged downpours.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is best suited for light outdoor activities like walking, casual jogging, commuting, or everyday wear in cool to mild, windy, or lightly rainy weather. It's not intended for extreme sports or heavy expedition use.

Can I wear this jacket in winter?

The jacket is padded for warmth, making it suitable for autumn and mild winter days. For colder winter conditions, you may need to layer it with additional insulating garments underneath or opt for a heavier winter coat.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

You can store the jacket in the provided dust bag for compact travel or off-season storage. Alternatively, hang it on a wide hanger in a closet to maintain its shape and allow the fabric to breathe.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from recycled technical fabric, specifically polyester, which contributes to its durability, wind resistance, and water-repellent properties.

Does this jacket run true to size?

Info needed: While generally designed for a comfortable fit, it's always recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart to ensure the best fit for your measurements and desired layering space.

Troubleshooting

Jacket doesn't seem as warm as expected.

Ensure you are layering appropriately for the ambient temperature. This jacket provides lightweight padding, ideal for moderate cold, but may require additional layers in very cold conditions.

Water-repellency seems to be diminishing.

Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment can wear off. Consider re-treating the jacket with a DWR spray specifically designed for technical outerwear after washing, ensuring the jacket is clean and dry first.

Zipper feels stiff or sticky.

Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (wax or silicone-based) to the zipper teeth. Move the zipper up and down several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Keep the zipper clean from dirt and debris.

Jacket appears wrinkled after storage.

The technical fabric typically resists wrinkling well. If wrinkles occur, hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a short period, or gently smooth out by hand. Avoid ironing as high heat can damage the material.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for adult women and is highly compatible with a range of casual and activewear ensembles. It layers well over t-shirts, long-sleeve tops, or light sweaters, making it versatile for various weather conditions and activities. Its sleek design also makes it suitable for urban environments and sportswear-inspired outfits.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. As it's made from technical polyester fabric, follow these guidelines:

Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Close all zippers before washing.
Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's water-repellent properties.
Drying: Tumble dry low or, preferably, hang to air dry completely. Avoid high heat, which can damage the technical fabric and padding.
Bleaching: Do not bleach.
Ironing: Do not iron. If absolutely necessary, use the lowest heat setting with a pressing cloth.
Storage: When not in use, store it in the provided dust bag or hang it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
