FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.
What material is the jacket made of?
The main material is 100% polyester, featuring a 2-layer softshell construction that is bonded, water repellent, and weighs 255 g/m².
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is unlined but has a fleece-lined collar. It is best suited for mild conditions or as a layer over warmer clothing in colder temperatures.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features several practical pockets: one chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The sleeve ends are adjustable with Velcro, and the hem can be adjusted using a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit.
What are the benefits of the pre-bent elbows?
The pre-bent elbows are designed to provide greater freedom of movement and comfort, reducing strain on the fabric and improving agility during tasks.
How should I wash and care for this jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on low heat. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softener.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth and gently work the zipper back and forth.
Jacket feels tight around the shoulders
Adjust the hem using the drawstring to ensure a comfortable fit. If the tightness persists, consider if a larger size is needed for your specific frame and movement requirements.
Water repellency seems reduced
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding fabric softener and high heat drying. Consider using a technical wash and re-proofing spray designed for softshell fabrics if performance significantly diminishes over time.
