FAQs

What kind of insulation does this jacket use?

The jacket uses 160g of synthetic insulation, which is designed to provide warmth even in damp conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a water-repellent finish on the shell fabric, making it suitable for light rain or showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not iron or dry clean.

What does 'PFC Free DWR' mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a finish applied to fabrics to make them shed water. 'PFC Free' means the treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features an adjustable drawcord hem and elasticated binding around the hood and cuffs, allowing you to customize the fit for better comfort and protection.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

It's ideal for everyday use such as commuting, countryside walks, walking the dog, and general outdoor activities during autumn and mild winter weather.

What is the lining material?

The jacket is lined with Taffeta, a smooth polyester fabric that makes it easy to wear over other clothing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels cold or less warm than expected.

Ensure the baffles are not overly compressed. If the jacket has been washed, ensure the insulation is evenly distributed by gently shaking it. Consider layering a warmer mid-layer underneath for colder temperatures.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for nylon fabrics. For heavy rain, a more waterproof jacket may be required.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels damp inside after activity.

While the jacket is water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof and may not be highly breathable. For strenuous activities that generate significant moisture, consider a more breathable garment or one with active ventilation.
