FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket features a water-repellent treatment, which means it will shed light rain and resist moisture. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof gear would be recommended.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

It is recommended to store the jacket in the provided dust bag. This helps protect the fabric from dust, maintains its shape, and keeps it ready for your next adventure. Store it in a cool, dry place.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, it is not recommended to iron your EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket. The technical fabric and its water-repellent coating can be damaged by high heat. If wrinkles occur, try hanging the jacket in a steamy bathroom or gently smoothing them by hand.

What kind of activities is this jacket best for?

This jacket is ideal for urban commutes, light outdoor activities like walking or casual sport spectating, and travel. Its design maximizes freedom of movement and offers protection against wind and light rain in transitional seasons.

Does the jacket offer good breathability?

While the jacket uses technical fabric for wind and water resistance, its primary material is polyester and it is padded. This design prioritizes warmth and protection, which means it might not offer the same level of breathability as unpadded or mesh-lined garments during high-intensity activities.

How do I choose the correct size?

To ensure the best fit, please refer to the official EA7 size chart, which can usually be found on the product page or the brand's website. Measure yourself according to their guidelines to select the appropriate size.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems less water-repellent over time.

This is normal for DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finishes. After washing and extended wear, the coating can diminish. Consider using a DWR re-treatment spray designed for technical outerwear to restore its water-repellency. Always follow the product's instructions.

Padding appears flattened after washing.

While air drying, gently fluff the jacket by hand every few hours to redistribute the padding. If tumble drying is permitted by the care label, adding a few clean tennis balls to the dryer on a low heat setting can help restore loft.

Jacket feels too warm for mild conditions or not warm enough for colder days.

This jacket is designed for versatility. For milder conditions, wear a lighter base layer. For colder days, utilize layering by wearing thermal base layers and mid-layers underneath to adapt to the temperature. It is intended for transitional weather, not extreme cold.

Dust bag is missing or damaged.

Contact EA7 customer support or the retailer where you purchased the jacket for assistance with obtaining a replacement or solution.

Care Instructions

Proper care is crucial to maintain the performance and longevity of your jacket's technical fabric and water-repellent treatment.

  1. Check the Care Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the jacket's internal label first. This is the most accurate source for your specific garment.
  2. Washing: Generally, technical padded jackets should be machine washed on a cold, delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can impair the fabric's water-repellent properties.
  3. Drying: Air dry the jacket flat or hang it in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Tumble drying on a low heat might be possible if specified on the care label, but air drying is often safer to preserve padding and fabric integrity.
  4. Bleaching & Ironing: Do not bleach your jacket. Do not iron it, as high heat can damage the technical fabric and its water-repellent coating.
  5. Storage: When not in use, especially for longer periods, store the jacket in the provided dust bag to protect it from dust and maintain its shape.
