FAQs

What does 'showerproof' mean for this jacket?

Showerproof means the jacket is designed to repel light rain and moisture. It will keep you dry in a drizzle or light shower but may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and designed for transitional weather. For colder temperatures, it can be layered over warmer clothing such as sweaters or fleece.

How do I find the right size?

Please refer to the size chart available on the product page for detailed measurements. The listed sizes (S, M, L, XL) correspond to generic adult female apparel sizing.

What is the jacket made of?

The outer face is composed of 65% Polyester, 33% Viscose, and 2% Elastane, with a 100% Polyurethane membrane. The lining is 100% Polyester.

How should I clean the jacket to preserve its water resistance?

Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not tumble dry on high heat; air dry or use a low heat setting. Reapply DWR treatment periodically if water repellency decreases.

Is the hood adjustable?

This jacket features an oversized funnel neck with adjustable drawcords at both the neck and hem, providing customizable protection, but it does not have a separate hood.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not shedding water as effectively.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Over time, dirt and oils can reduce water repellency. Consider re-applying a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Check the zipper track for any fabric obstructions. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a wax-based product can help.

Drawcords are not tightening properly.

Ensure the cord locks are functioning correctly and are not obstructed. If the cord ends are frayed, they may need to be secured before passing through the toggles.
