FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Salt Windbreaker is designed to be water-repellent, offering protection against light rain and spray. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in warm water (40°C) with zippers closed. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat. Iron on low if needed. Do not dry clean.
What does 'PFC-free' mean?
PFC-free indicates that the jacket's fabric treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are often found in water-repellent coatings but can be harmful to the environment. This jacket uses a more eco-friendly alternative.
Will the colors fade over time?
Yes, some fading may occur on bright colors, particularly after washing. It is recommended to wash dark colors separately and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when not in use.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs 400.0 grams, making it a lightweight option for layering.
Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features removable and adjustable straps, along with ribbing at the cuffs and collar, allowing for a customized fit.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer fabric is 100% polyester, and the lining is also 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure zippers are closed before washing. Check if fabric softener was used, as this can affect breathability. Ensure proper drying. For persistent issues, consider the jacket's water-repellent properties may be reduced over time and may require re-treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently work the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider. You can try applying a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Color appears faded
This is a natural occurrence for some bright colors, especially after washing. Wash dark colors separately in the future. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure when not in use.
