FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the DWR treatment?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, keeping you dry in light rain and preventing the outer fabric from becoming saturated.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a blend of recycled polyester and cotton, which provides a soft, peached feel.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. The jacket is designed for a regular fit, so selecting your usual size should provide a comfortable fit.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is ideal for transitional weather. For colder temperatures, it is best worn as a layer over warmer clothing like sweaters or fleeces.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features two side welt pockets and two interior pockets for convenient storage.
Is the jacket suitable for machine washing?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle. Please refer to the full care instructions for best results.
What does 'peached feel' mean?
A 'peached feel' refers to a fabric finish that has been brushed to create a soft, velvety texture, similar to the skin of a peach.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment can diminish over time. Consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for polyester and cotton blends. Ensure the garment is clean before re-treating, as dirt can affect performance.
Jacket feels slightly damp after extended wear in rain.
The jacket is designed for light water repellency, not waterproofing. For heavy or prolonged rain, a more robust waterproof jacket may be necessary. Ensure all zippers are fully closed to maximize protection.
Shrinkage after washing.
Follow the care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperature and drying methods. Use cold water and tumble dry on low heat to minimize the risk of shrinkage.
