FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can withstand light rain or moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
What is the insulation made of?
The jacket uses premium, recycled, synthetic insulation that is FEATHER-FREE. It is designed to be lightweight and warm.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach.
How do I reapply the water-repellent finish?
You can reapply the water-repellent finish using a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product available at outdoor retailers. Always follow the specific instructions on the DWR product for application.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed for mild to cool conditions and can be layered for additional warmth. For extremely cold weather, consider layering it with a warmer mid-layer or a more insulated outer jacket.
What does '20D polyamide fabric' mean?
'20D' refers to the denier, a unit of measurement for the thickness or fineness of the textile fibers. A lower denier number, like 20D, indicates a finer, lighter thread, contributing to the jacket's lightweight feel.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to redistribute and break up any clumps in the synthetic insulation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil if needed.
