FAQs
What does 'waterproof to 8000mm' mean?
A waterproof rating of 8000mm means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 8000mm column of water before significant leakage occurs, indicating good protection against moderate rain.
What does 'breathable to 1000mvp' mean?
A breathability rating of 1000mvp (Moisture Vapor Transmission) indicates the amount of water vapor that can pass through one square meter of the fabric in 24 hours. This level allows for a reasonable amount of moisture (like sweat vapor) to escape, helping to keep you comfortable.
Can this jacket be worn in freezing temperatures?
While the jacket offers wind and water resistance, it is a lightweight softshell. For freezing temperatures, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warmer insulating clothing.
Is this jacket suitable for very active outdoor sports?
The jacket offers good breathability, making it suitable for moderate activity. For high-intensity sports where significant perspiration occurs, a higher breathability rating might be preferred.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?
Machine wash cold with like colors and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the fabric's performance.
Can I add a company logo to this jacket?
Yes, the description mentions it is suitable for company uniforms with the application of your logo. It is recommended to use professional customization services.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for damage to the fabric or seams. For persistent issues, consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
The jacket feels too cool for cold weather.
This jacket is designed for layering. For colder temperatures, wear a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated vest, underneath.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully extract it. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
