Product Information

Full details

This Castore Hybrid Jacket is designed for active adult males seeking a versatile top layer that offers comfort, warmth, and water resistance. Its key benefit lies in its technical engineering for temperature regulation and protection against the elements. A potential caveat to consider is that while water-resistant, it may not be fully waterproof for prolonged heavy downpours. The jacket features ProTek technology for water resistance, insulated heat-sealed baffling for warmth, a self-fabric stand collar, and convenient zip side pockets for storage.

FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for cool to mild weather with light rain or wind. It offers warmth and water resistance but is not intended for heavy downpours or extreme cold.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features ProTek technology for water resistance, meaning it can repel light rain and moisture. It is not classified as fully waterproof, so prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some penetration.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not dry clean.

Can I wear this jacket for intense sports like running?

Yes, the jacket is designed for active lifestyles. The full-zip allows for ventilation, and its technical features help manage temperature during moderate to high-intensity activities in suitable weather conditions.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is primarily made of 100% polyamide, with insulation for warmth.

Does it have a hood?

This specific model does not feature a hood; it has a self-fabric stand collar for neck protection.

How do the zip side pockets function?

The zip side pockets are designed to securely store small personal items such as keys, a phone, or a wallet, keeping them safe and accessible while you are active.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not water-resistant after washing.

Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely, avoiding fabric softeners which can degrade water-repellent finishes. Consider a technical wash or re-waterproofing treatment if the issue persists.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels too warm during activity.

Utilize the full-zip feature to increase ventilation. Consider wearing a lighter base layer underneath or removing the jacket during high-intensity periods.

Pilling or fuzzing on the fabric.

This can sometimes occur with polyamide fabrics. Ensure you are washing inside out and avoiding abrasive materials in the wash. A fabric shaver can be used to carefully remove pills.
