FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Omni-Heat™ technology?
Omni-Heat™ technology uses reflective dots to reflect body heat back to you, keeping you warmer without adding bulk or weight to the jacket.
How does the Omni-Shield™ feature work?
Omni-Shield™ is a repellent treatment that resists water and stains, causing liquids to bead up and roll off the fabric, which helps the jacket stay cleaner and dry faster.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
While the jacket provides good warmth and protection for cool to moderately cold weather, it may not be sufficient for extreme sub-zero temperatures without additional layering.
What material is the insulation made from?
The insulation is Thermarator™, made from 100% recycled polyester, offering lightweight warmth.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?
Yes, the hybrid design offers a balance of warmth and breathability, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities where you might generate body heat.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning.
What sizes and colors are available?
This specific guide focuses on the Collegiate Navy - L size. However, this model is available in various sizes and colors, including S, M, XL, XS, Black, Red, and Purple.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as warm as expected
Ensure the Omni-Heat™ reflective lining is against your skin or base layer, as it works best when reflecting body heat directly. Check that all zippers are fully closed and cuffs are snug to prevent heat loss.
Water repellency seems reduced
The Omni-Shield™ treatment may diminish over time with washing and wear. Consider using a water-repellent spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after cleaning and drying to restore its performance.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help it glide smoothly.
