Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features Omni-Shield™ technology, which is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and splashes well, but it is not waterproof and should not be used in heavy downpours.

How does the sizing run?

This jacket features a standard cropped fit. It is designed to be true to size, but the cut is shorter than a traditional parka.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

Yes, the Thermarator™ insulation is designed to trap heat effectively, making it suitable for cold days. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, consider layering underneath.

Does it have an internal pocket?

The jacket includes secure zippered hand pockets, but it does not feature an internal security pocket.

Is the hood detachable?

This specific model does not feature a hood; it has a standard collar design with a chin guard.

What material is the lining made of?

The shell and lining are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester.

Troubleshooting

The fabric looks dull after several washes.

The Omni-Shield™ coating may wear down over time. Using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic technical apparel can help restore water repellency.

Insulation feels compressed.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat for 10-15 minutes with clean dryer balls to re-fluff the synthetic fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This garment requires no special setup. To ensure longevity, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. Adding a few clean tennis balls to the dryer can help maintain the insulation's loft.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To maintain the shape, use a wide-shouldered hanger.
  • Compatibility: The cropped fit is designed to be worn over light mid-layers. If you plan to wear thick, chunky sweaters underneath, you may find the fit slightly snug around the shoulders.
