FAQs
What type of outdoor activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for general outdoor activities like day hiking, walking, and casual wear, particularly in wet or windy conditions.
How do I know if the UK size 12 will fit me?
As this is a specific UK size 12, we recommend checking standard UK sizing charts for women's outerwear and comparing your measurements to ensure a proper fit.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme weather conditions?
While it offers good waterproofing, it is designed more for general outdoor use and may not provide sufficient protection or features for extreme mountaineering or severe weather expeditions.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?
No, it is not recommended to use fabric softener as it can degrade the waterproof coating on the fabric.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
The need for re-waterproofing depends on usage and environmental conditions. You should re-proof it when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from polyester, known for its durability and water-resistant properties.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider re-applying a waterproofing spray or wash according to care instructions and re-treating.
Jacket feels stiff or less flexible
This can happen over time. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals. Gentle washing and air drying can help maintain flexibility.
Zipper is sticking
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper before attempting to use it again.
