FAQs
What does 'PFC-free' mean for this jacket?
PFC-free means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly and safer.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light to moderate rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams might be more appropriate.
How much of the jacket is made from recycled materials?
The jacket is made with 70% recycled material content, contributing to sustainability.
How should I wash the jacket to preserve its water resistance?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, inside out, with zippers closed, and using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Consider reapplying a water-repellent finish periodically.
Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?
While it has ventilation eyelets, the primary focus is on wind and water resistance. For very high-intensity activities where maximum breathability is needed, other specialized gear might be more suitable. It is ideal for moderate activity and everyday wear.
Where is the jacket manufactured?
The jacket is manufactured in Bangladesh.
What is the main benefit of the polyester material?
Polyester is known for its durability, resistance to stretching and shrinking, and quick-drying properties, making it a practical choice for outerwear.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not shedding water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Apply a PFC-free re-waterproofing spray according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Gently move the slider up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth for lubrication.
Jacket feels too warm
Open the ventilation eyelets for increased airflow. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath. This jacket is designed for water and wind resistance, not extreme insulation.
Print or badge is peeling
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Iron on a low setting away from the printed areas. If peeling has started, avoid further heat exposure to prevent worsening.
