FAQs
What does 'slim fit' mean for this jacket?
Slim fit means the jacket is tailored to be closer to the body, offering a more modern and streamlined silhouette. It is designed to be less baggy than a regular fit.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for protection against wind and rain, making it ideal for transitional seasons. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warm insulating clothing.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
Due to the slim fit, wearing a very thick sweater underneath might be restrictive. It's best suited for lighter layers like a t-shirt or a thin fleece.
How do I know if the heat-sealed seams are failing?
You may notice the seam tape peeling away from the fabric, or water starting to penetrate through the seams during wet conditions.
What is the benefit of the internal membrane?
The internal membrane is crucial for the jacket's waterproof, windproof, and breathable properties. It acts as a barrier against external elements while allowing internal moisture (sweat) to escape.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have zippers, which help to protect the contents from light rain and splashes. However, they are not designed to be fully submersible.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before applying.
Zipper is sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Reduced breathability.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Check for any blockages in vents if present.
Seams appear to be separating.
If heat-sealed seams are peeling, this indicates a potential failure of the bonding. Contact customer support as this may be a manufacturing defect.
