Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket features a DWR finish which makes it water-repellent, suitable for light rain or showers. It is not a fully waterproof jacket for heavy or prolonged downpours.
What is the primary material?
The jacket is primarily made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, with a 240gsm fabric weight.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
It is lightweight and insulating, making it suitable for cooler temperatures, especially when layered. For very cold conditions, additional insulation would be required.
How do I care for the DWR finish?
The DWR finish can be maintained by re-applying a DWR treatment after washing, following the specific product's instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
What does 'Extol Stretch' mean?
Extol Stretch refers to fabric panels or construction that allow for enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, typically used in areas like the underarms or side panels.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, soft shell fabrics are generally designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape during physical activity, which helps prevent overheating.
What kind of fit does this jacket have?
The jacket has a relaxed fit, designed to allow for comfortable layering and ease of movement.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Water repellency seems reduced
This is normal after multiple washes. Re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.
Jacket feels too tight/loose
Adjust the toggle hem for a better fit. For significant fit issues, consider trying a different size or checking the size guide.
Pilling on the fabric surface
Pilling can occur with friction on fleece-like fabrics. This is mostly cosmetic. You can use a fabric shaver to carefully remove pills. Avoid abrasive contact with rough surfaces.
