FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is waterproof with taped seams, offering good protection for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, additional specialized rain gear might be advisable.
What is the material composition?
The jacket is made from 76% Polyester and 24% Polyurethane, combining durability with waterproof and stretch capabilities.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its features?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes. A specific technical wash is recommended for optimal care.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket functions well as a protective outer shell. For cold weather, layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer is recommended to provide sufficient warmth.
What does 'DWR coating' mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a finish applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.
How do I adjust the cuffs?
The cuffs feature snap buttons, allowing you to adjust the tightness for a secure fit and to block out wind and rain.
What is the purpose of the back ventilation opening?
The back ventilation opening allows for increased airflow and breathability, helping to release excess heat and moisture during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the seams.
Ensure the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, it may affect waterproofing. Re-waterproofing treatments can sometimes help, but significant damage may require professional repair or replacement.
Jacket feels clammy or uncomfortable inside.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the fabric's pores. Check that the back ventilation opening is not obstructed.
Snap buttons are difficult to fasten or unfasten.
Ensure the buttons are aligned correctly before fastening. If they feel unusually stiff, try a gentle, straight pull to unfasten. Avoid excessive force, which could damage the snaps.
