Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to its EcoShield DWR finish, which causes water to bead off, but it is not seam-sealed or waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I iron the jacket?
No, you should not iron this garment, as it can damage the recycled polyester and the DWR coating.
Is the material stretchy?
Yes, the jacket is made from a recycled polyester-elastane blend, which provides excellent stretch for agile movement.
How many pockets does it have?
The jacket features three pockets for versatile storage of small items.
What is the best way to clean it?
Wash with similar colours, do not use softeners or bleach, and tumble dry on a low setting.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may be worn off. Try applying low heat to the fabric as per instructions to reactivate, or reapply a DWR spray treatment.
The zippers feel stiff or catch on fabric
Ensure the recycled zip tapes are clear of lint and debris. Ensure the fabric inside the jacket is not caught in the track before zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of your jacket, adhere strictly to the following care guidelines:
- Pre-Wash Prep: Close all zippers and fasteners before placing the garment in the washing machine.
- Washing: Wash with similar colours in a standard cycle. Do not use bleach or water softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting only. Avoid wringing out the fabric to prevent damage to the inner fleece.
- Maintenance: The jacket cannot be ironed or dry cleaned. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you can apply heat according to the manufacturer's directions to reactivate the EcoShield DWR finish.
