FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Herock Trystan Softshell Jacket is water-repellent (5000 mm), meaning it can withstand light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I determine the correct size?
The jacket is designed as a unisex fit. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements (chest, waist, length) to find the best fit for you. Consider if you prefer a snugger or looser fit when choosing.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a standard fit suitable for layering. You can wear a fleece or a thinner sweater underneath for added warmth. For very thick layers, consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.
What is the main difference between this and a waterproof jacket?
A water-repellent jacket resists water penetration to a certain degree, ideal for light rain and splashes. A waterproof jacket has a membrane that completely prevents water from entering, designed for heavy rain and extreme wet conditions.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended when you notice a significant decrease in water repellency, typically after multiple washes or extended use in wet conditions. Follow the instructions on your chosen re-proofing product.
What does '3000 mvp' breathability mean?
MVP stands for 'Moisture Vapor Permeability'. A rating of 3000 mvp means that 3000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating good breathability for active wear.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a technical fabric re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
While breathable, extreme exertion can exceed the jacket's capacity. Ensure zippers are partially open for ventilation. Check that inner layers are also moisture-wicking.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Hood attachment is loose.
Check the snaps or zipper mechanism used for attaching the hood. Ensure they are fully engaged and free of debris. Re-attach securely.

- Washing: Machine wash at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a gentle or synthetic cycle.
- Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance and water-repellent treatment.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
