FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Turbine Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it's treated to repel light rain and water droplets thanks to its DWR finish. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged rainfall.
What is the primary benefit of the softshell stretch panels?
The softshell stretch panels on the sides are designed to provide enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, making the jacket comfortable for active pursuits.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, washing similar colours together. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket offers extra warmth due to its insulation and fleece lining, making it suitable for cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over additional insulating garments.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
It uses microfibre insulation, which is a synthetic alternative to down that provides excellent heat retention.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket features zipped pockets, which provide secure storage for your belongings.
Does the jacket have a hood?
The product description does not specify a hood. Please refer to the product imagery or detailed specifications for confirmation on hood inclusion.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the jacket is not overly tight, which can restrict breathability. If washing, make sure to use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. Check if the DWR treatment needs reapplication if water is soaking through.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Loss of water repellency
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR finish specifically designed for outdoor apparel following the product's instructions. Washing the garment before reapplication can improve results.
Padding feels uneven
After washing and drying, gently shake the jacket to redistribute the internal padding. Ensure it was dried thoroughly and not compressed for extended periods.
