FAQs
What is the primary function of the DWR finish?
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is designed to cause water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, protecting you from light rain and snow.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This is a soft shell jacket, designed for wind and light rain resistance. It is lightweight and best suited for mild conditions or as a layer over warmer clothing in colder weather. It does not provide heavy insulation.
How do I know if I ordered the correct size?
The jacket features a relaxed fit. Please refer to the size chart provided in the product description. Chest sizes are listed: M: 40 in.
Can I wear this jacket during heavy downpours?
While the DWR finish offers protection against light showers, this jacket is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane.
Does the jacket have a hood?

Troubleshooting
Water repellency is reduced
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and apply a DWR re-proofer spray suitable for outdoor apparel. Ensure the garment is clean before re-proofing.
Jacket feels less windproof
Check that all zips are fully closed and the toggle hem is adjusted snugly. Minor wear may slightly reduce wind resistance over time.
Stiffness after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can affect the fabric's properties. Tumble drying on a low setting can help restore softness.
