FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 2-layer construction?

The 2-layer construction offers a balance between protection from the elements and breathability, ensuring comfort during physical activity without trapping too much moisture.

How showerproof is this jacket?

The jacket has a showerproof finish, meaning it can withstand light to moderate rain for a period. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, where a fully waterproof jacket would be necessary.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over a warm insulating garment, such as a fleece or a thermal jacket.

Is the jacket suitable for sports or just workwear?

The jacket is designed with features like stretch fabric and a comfortable fit, making it suitable for both active work environments and various outdoor sports and leisure activities.

How do I reapply the water repellent finish?

You can reapply the DWR finish by purchasing a spray or wash-in treatment from an outdoor gear retailer and following the product's specific instructions, usually involving washing and tumble drying.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model does not come with a hood. It features a bound, elasticated standing collar for neck protection.

What does 'Access for Decoration' mean?

This means the jacket is designed with specific panels or construction that make it easier for a third party to add embroidery or printing for branding purposes, such as company logos.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside after activity

This can happen due to perspiration. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath. If the outer fabric feels saturated, it may be time to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Check care label for washing instructions to maintain breathability.

Pockets are not retaining items securely

Ensure all zip pockets are fully closed after use. The chest pockets are designed for items that should be kept close and accessible, while front pockets offer general storage. For very small or valuable items, consider using a sealed inner pocket if available on layers worn underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Windproof and showerproof for moderate weather protection.
  • Stretch fabric allows for a full range of motion.
  • Comfortable brushed back lining.
  • Designed with practical features like multiple zip pockets and a chin guard.
  • Suitable for customization with company branding.
  • Adheres to sustainability and ethical standards.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for extreme cold without additional layers.
  • Showerproof rather than fully waterproof, so heavy rain may penetrate.
  • Limited color and style options within this specific product variant.
  • Relies on full zip for ventilation, which might be less convenient than pit zips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and comfort. The full zip allows for easy donning and doffing.

Compatibility: While designed as a standalone piece for moderate weather, this jacket can be layered over thermal base layers or under a heavier waterproof shell for increased warmth and protection in colder or wetter conditions. Its design also allows for easy application of company logos or team emblems, making it compatible with branding services.

Care Instructions: Machine wash at 40°C. Wash with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on a low temperature or air dry. Iron on a low setting if necessary. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's performance properties.
