FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
This jacket is water-wicking and offers protection from light rain and splashes, but it is not designed as a fully waterproof rain jacket for heavy downpours.
How do I know if I should size up or down?
The jacket features an 'active fit.' If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear multiple layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is attached to the jacket and is not removable, but it can be adjusted with a drawstring.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash cold with like colors, use mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does it have internal pockets?
The jacket features a large front kangaroo pocket with two zippers and one zippered pocket on the arm.
What is the benefit of the drawcord hem?
The drawcord hem allows you to cinch the jacket for a snugger fit, helping to keep out wind and drafts.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or catching
Apply a graphite pencil or wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it. Gently work the zipper up and down to free it.
Water-wicking properties seem reduced
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of fabric softeners or detergents that can impede water-wicking. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary following product instructions.
Drawcord is difficult to adjust
Check for any obstructions in the drawcord channel. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly.
