FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the H2OShield finish?
The H2OShield finish is a plant-based treatment that provides water repellency to the woven fabric, helping to repel light rain and mist.
How warm is this jacket?
The jacket offers wind resistance and extra warmth from its microfleece back panel, making it suitable for cool to mild conditions. It is not designed for extreme cold.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
This jacket features water-repellent properties, meaning it can handle light showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting.
What does 'Compresslite' refer to?
Compresslite typically indicates a material that is lightweight and can be easily compressed for packing, making the jacket convenient for travel or storage.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various sizes for adult males. Please refer to the size chart for specific measurements.
Is the microfleece only on the back?
Yes, the description specifically states 'The back is made of microfleece for extra warmth', indicating it is primarily a feature of the back panel.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing.
Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical fabrics. Ensure you follow the re-application product's guidelines.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the microfleece back is not compressed or damaged. Consider layering the jacket with a thermal base layer for added warmth in colder conditions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket has an odor.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is fully dry before storing. For persistent odors, consider a specialized sports wash.
