FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers but not designed for prolonged or heavy rainfall. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric conditioner and tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

As a midlayer, it provides some warmth and wind protection. For very cold conditions, it is best worn over an insulating layer like a fleece or thermal top.

What does 'softshell' mean?

Softshell fabrics are typically breathable, stretchy, and offer a degree of wind and water resistance, providing comfort and flexibility for active use.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

The jacket is lightweight and can be easily folded or rolled. Store it in a dry place. Avoid prolonged compression to maintain the fabric's integrity.

What is the main benefit of the stretch fabric?

The stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement, making the jacket comfortable to wear during physical activities where mobility is important, such as hiking or climbing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are not using fabric conditioner, as this can affect the material's properties. Use a mild liquid detergent instead.

Water repellency seems reduced

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider applying a re-proofer suitable for softshell fabrics according to the product's instructions.

Jacket is not warm enough on its own

This jacket is designed as a midlayer. For colder conditions, layer it over a warmer insulating garment like a fleece or thermal top, or wear a more insulated jacket over it.
