FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, this jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can shed water in light weather conditions. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and is not designed for heavy rain.
What is the padding made of?
The padding is made from recycled polyester.
How should I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for mild to cool weather. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer mid-layers.
How do I adjust the fit at the cuffs?
The cuffs have an elasticated band and a press button adjuster, allowing you to secure a snug fit.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain or snow.
What are the pocket closures?
The jacket features slanted welt side pockets with no visible closure, designed for easy access.
Troubleshooting
Water beads on fabric but eventually seeps through.
This is expected behavior for a DWR finish, which is designed for light water repellency. For heavier rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment if performance has decreased significantly.
Jacket feels cold in lower temperatures.
This jacket provides light to moderate insulation. For colder weather, layer a warmer mid-layer, such as a fleece or down vest, underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
