FAQs
What is the main material of the coat?
The coat is made from 100% polyester for the shell, lining, and filling.
Is this coat suitable for very cold weather?
The fleece lining and hood provide significant warmth, making it suitable for cold weather, especially when layered appropriately.
How do I best clean the coat?
You can machine wash the coat at 30°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and dry cleaning. Always close zips and studs before washing and use a mild detergent.
What does 'breathable' mean in relation to this coat?
Breathable means that some moisture vapor (like sweat) can escape from the inside of the coat, helping to keep you more comfortable and less clammy during activity.
Can I wear a thick jumper underneath?
Yes, the coat is designed with adult women in mind and has space for layering. It is recommended to check the size guide for the most accurate fit if you plan on wearing thick layers.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed to keep contents dry from light rain and splashes, but they are not fully waterproof for submersion.
How do I maintain the coat's waterproofness?
Periodically re-apply a waterproofing spray suitable for polyester fabrics. Follow the instructions on the spray can. Ensure the coat is clean before applying.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the surface
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing spray suitable for polyester fabrics following the product's instructions.
Coat feels damp inside despite being waterproof
Ensure the garment is properly cared for and that the waterproofing is intact. Excessive heat during drying or washing can damage the membrane. Ensure all seams are sealed and consider re-proofing if necessary.
Zip is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zip teeth gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Fleece lining is matted
Avoid high heat when washing and drying. If matting has occurred, try a gentle brush or tumble dry on a very low heat with a couple of tennis balls to help fluff the fibers.
