FAQs
What does '3-in-1' mean for this jacket?
A 3-in-1 jacket typically consists of an outer waterproof shell and an inner insulating layer that can be worn together, or separately. This provides three different combinations for varying weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good wind and water protection, but its warmth depends on the layering worn underneath. It is designed to accommodate insulating layers for colder temperatures.
How do I choose the right size?
Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description. The measurements indicate chest circumference in inches for each size (e.g., XXXXL is 54 inches).
Can the hood be detached?
The hood is described as adjustable and concealed, suggesting it is integrated into the jacket design and may not be fully detachable, but can be stored away.
What is the 'Peached' finish?
A 'Peached' finish is a treatment applied to the fabric to give it a soft, velvety feel, similar to that of a peach skin, enhancing comfort.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
It is recommended to re-proof the jacket annually or whenever you notice water is no longer beading effectively on the surface. Frequent washing or heavy use may require more frequent re-proofing.
Are the taped seams important?
Yes, taped seams are crucial for waterproof garments. They cover the stitching lines, preventing water from seeping through the needle holes, thereby maintaining the jacket's full waterproof integrity.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and oils. Re-apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are sealed and the main zip is functioning correctly.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free it. If the zipper is stiff, rub a graphite pencil along the teeth or apply a small amount of wax.
Hook and loop fasteners are not sticking
Clean the hook and loop fasteners by brushing away any lint or debris. A small brush or a toothbrush can be effective. Ensure they are fully dry before fastening.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being dry outside
This could be due to condensation. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially during high activity. Check that the hood and cuffs are adjusted correctly to prevent moisture ingress.
