FAQs

What is H2OShield DWR?

H2OShield DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric's surface that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep you dry from light rain and splashes.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers water repellency, which is effective against light rain and splashes. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How should I wash the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and similar colors. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket provides warmth due to its microfleece lining and wind resistance. For very cold conditions, it's best used as a mid-layer over other warm garments.

What materials is the jacket made of?

The jacket features a stretch polyester outer with an H2OShield DWR finish and a striped microfleece back for warmth.

Are the pockets insulated?

The pockets are zipped and lined with fleece, offering some insulation for your hands, but they are not designed as dedicated insulated pockets.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

This can happen over time. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outerwear. Follow the product instructions carefully.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the microfleece lining is not obstructed. For colder conditions, layer additional warm clothing underneath. Check that zippers are fully closed to prevent drafts.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax to the zipper teeth and try again.

Pros and Cons

  • Provides effective wind resistance for comfort in breezy conditions.
  • The microfleece lining adds significant warmth without excessive bulk.
  • Stretch fabric ensures comfortable movement throughout the day.
  • Secure zipped pockets are practical for storing small items.

Cons

  • May not be sufficient for heavy rain conditions.
  • Fit can be variable; check sizing carefully.
  • Primarily designed for casual and light workwear, not extreme environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed as adult male apparel, it is compatible with standard outdoor and casual wear. It pairs well with t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, and other layers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with similar colors.

  3. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the water-repellent finish.
  4. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
