FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Ablaze jacket is water-resistant, meaning it is designed to repel light rain and damp conditions, but it is not classified as waterproof for heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in deep winter?

It is designed for autumn and winter transitions. For deep, freezing winter conditions, you may need to layer a warmer mid-layer underneath.

Is the material stretchy?

Yes, the jacket features softshell fabric with natural stretch to allow for comfortable movement during active use.

How do I clean the jacket without damaging it?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with mild detergent and avoid all fabric softeners.

What does 'printable softshell' mean?

It means the fabric is manufactured with a surface specifically designed to accept screen printing or embroidery for branding purposes.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment according to the product manufacturer's instructions.

Feeling damp inside the jacket during high activity

Ensure you are layering appropriately. Even breathable jackets can feel damp if there is no escape route for moisture through your base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High breathability prevents overheating
  • Natural stretch fabric offers excellent freedom of movement
  • Effective insulation for autumn and early winter
  • Lightweight feel despite the three-layer protection

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall
  • Limited coverage compared to longer parkas
  • Specific maintenance required to preserve water-repellent properties

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip away the water-resistant coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, use a very low heat setting to prevent damage to the synthetic fabric layers.
  3. Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface of the fabric, apply a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore its performance.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the fabric's elasticity.
