FAQs
What does 'showerproof' mean for this jacket?
Showerproof indicates that the jacket is designed to resist light rain and water penetration for a limited time, keeping you dry in brief or light showers. It is not equivalent to being fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed for versatility. While it offers protection from wind and light rain, for very cold weather, it is best layered over warm clothing or a heavier insulating layer.
How do I adjust the fit using the drawcords?
The drawcords are located at the neck and hem. Pull the ends of the drawcords to tighten and adjust the fit for better protection against wind and drafts. Release the drawcords to loosen the fit.
What material is the jacket made of?
The outer fabric composition is Face: 65% Polyester, 33% Viscose, 2% Elastane, with a 100% Polyurethane membrane. The inner lining is 100% Polyester.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket is described as 'showerproof,' meaning it is suitable for light rain or drizzle but not for prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
How often should I wash the jacket?
Wash the jacket as needed when it appears dirty or its performance is affected. Always follow the specific machine wash at 30°C instructions to maintain its properties.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed, but it must be at 30°C. Avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and high spin cycles.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not shedding water as effectively.
Ensure the jacket is cleaned according to care instructions. Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish; consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester blends.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil tip applied to the zipper teeth can help ease movement.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Check that the jacket was washed at the correct temperature (30°C) and not exposed to high heat during drying. Ensure fabric softener was not used, as this can affect performance.
