FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is showerproof, meaning it can withstand light to moderate rain. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged downpours where full waterproofing is required.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C using liquid detergent or soap flakes. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and powder detergents. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind protection and some warmth due to its brushed back fabric. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers or thermal wear.

What does '2 Layer Construction' mean?

This refers to the jacket's fabric build. A 2-layer construction typically involves a durable outer fabric bonded to a protective inner layer, offering a balance of protection and comfort without excessive bulk.

Are the pockets large enough for a phone?

The jacket features two front pockets and two chest pockets, all with zips. While specific dimensions are not provided, they are typically designed to hold essential items like a smartphone, wallet, and keys.

What is the benefit of the brushed back fabric?

The brushed back provides a softer feel against the skin for increased comfort and offers a slight thermal benefit by trapping air.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This specific model does not feature a hood. It has a bound, elasticated, standing collar.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

This could be due to high humidity or sweat. The jacket is showerproof, not fully waterproof, and breathability has limits. Ensure you are not overheating and consider layering appropriately. Check that the fabric is clean, as dirt can affect performance.

Zips are stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zip track is clear of debris. Gently use a pencil graphite or a silicone-based lubricant on the zip teeth. Avoid forcing the zip, which could cause damage.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The jacket is showerproof, designed for light to moderate rain. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended. The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may also need replenishing over time.

Elasticated hem/cuffs feel loose.

Over time, elastic can naturally lose some tension. There is no user-adjustable feature for this; it indicates potential wear. Ensure the garment is washed and dried according to instructions to preserve elasticity.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:
