FAQs

What temperature is this jacket suitable for?

The jacket provides warmth due to its synthetic insulation and is suitable for cool to cold weather. For very low temperatures, layering with additional thermal base or mid-layers is recommended.

How do I ensure the waterproof features last?

Regular cleaning with a specialized detergent and reactivating the DWR finish through heat or reapplication will help maintain its waterproof and windproof properties.

Can this jacket be worn for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be breathable and offers good freedom of movement with articulated elbows and a 2-way zip, making it suitable for walking and hiking. For very strenuous activities, managing ventilation is key.

What is the main difference between the outer shell and the insulation?

The TEXAPORE CORE is the waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer fabric that protects you from the elements. The TEXATHERM PRO is the synthetic insulation fill within the jacket that provides warmth.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. The model is 175cm tall and wears a size S, indicating it runs true to size for a regular fit.

Is the hood adjustable?

The product description mentions a hood for enhanced protection, but specific adjustment features are not detailed. Typically, such hoods may have drawcords or internal adjustments for a snugger fit.

Troubleshooting

Water is no longer beading on the surface.

The water-repellent finish (DWR) may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Try tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes or iron on a low setting. If this doesn't help, apply a waterproofing spray designed for technical outerwear.

Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or residues. Check that ventilation options (like the 2-way zip) are utilized appropriately. A build-up of sweat or dirt can reduce breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Once dry, apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve glide.
