FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, this jacket is designed with shower-resistant fabric, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not intended for use in heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

What material is the jacket made of?

The outer shell is made from 64% Polyester and 36% Elastomultiester. The lining is 100% Polyester, with the lining material being recycled.

How should I wash the jacket?

The jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it on a gentle cycle with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners to preserve the shower-resistant properties.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. However, air drying is often preferred to prolong the life of the fabric and its water-repellent finish.

Does the jacket have an internal pocket?

Yes, the jacket features an inner chest pocket for secure storage of small items.

What does 'showerproof' mean in relation to this jacket?

'Showerproof' indicates that the fabric has been treated to repel water, making it suitable for protection against light rain. It does not mean waterproof, which would provide a higher level of protection against heavy rain and immersion.

Is the jacket insulated for cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for protection against light rain and wind. It offers a basic layer of warmth but is not heavily insulated. For colder conditions, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not repelling water effectively.

The shower-resistant treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing, as this can hinder water repellency.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax can be applied to the zipper teeth to help it slide more smoothly.

Elastic cuffs or hem feel loose.

Elastic can lose its stretch over time with significant wear and washing. This is a natural wear-and-tear issue and typically cannot be fully repaired without professional tailoring.

Stains on the jacket.

Consult the care label for specific cleaning instructions. For minor stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, machine wash as per instructions, and consider a stain remover safe for polyester blends.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Shower resistance is limited to light rain; not suitable for heavy downpours.

  • As a zip-up jacket, it may not offer the same level of insulation as a heavily padded coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult males and is suitable for wear in mild to cool weather conditions where light rain protection is beneficial. It pairs well with various casual outfits, including t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine Washable: The jacket can be machine washed. Follow the care label instructions, typically on a gentle cycle with similar colors.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the performance of the shower-resistant treatment.
  • Drying: It is recommended to air dry the jacket or tumble dry on a low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric or the water-repellent finish.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the shower-resistant treatment may diminish. Periodically re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions to maintain its performance.
