FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, this jacket features a water-resistant finish (DWR C6), which is effective against light rain or showers. For heavy rain protection, a waterproof jacket would be more suitable.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the main benefit of the fleece-lined collar?
The fleece-lined collar provides extra comfort and softness around the neckline, preventing chafing during runs.
Can I store my phone in the pocket?
Yes, the secure zip pocket is designed to hold essentials like keys or a phone. However, ensure your phone fits comfortably without stretching the pocket excessively.
How should I reapply the water-repellent treatment?
You can use commercially available DWR re-proofing sprays or washes designed for outdoor apparel. Follow the specific instructions on the product you choose, typically involving washing and then tumble drying or ironing to activate the treatment.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean?
A relaxed fit means the jacket is designed with extra room for comfort and ease of movement, offering a casual yet athletic appearance rather than a tight, form-fitting style.
Are the reflective trims durable?
The reflective trims are designed for visibility and durability under normal use. To maintain their integrity, avoid harsh washing or high heat drying.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR finish suitable for outdoor apparel following product instructions.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. This jacket has a relaxed fit, but if you require more room, consider sizing up or exploring other models with a looser cut.
Zipper is sticking.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstruction. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a pencil graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
Reflective trim is peeling.
Avoid high heat in washing or drying. If minor peeling occurs, gentle adhesion might be possible with a fabric-safe adhesive, but significant damage may require repair by a professional.
