FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, meaning it can resist light rain or moisture for a limited time, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy downpours.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, or dry cleaning. Do not iron.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

The jacket is designed as a midlayer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over insulating layers like a fleece or down jacket.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

After washing, you can use a specific re-waterproofing spray for outdoor clothing to restore its protective qualities.

What activities is this jacket suitable for?

It is ideal for a range of outdoor activities such as trekking, walking, and everyday wear in changeable weather conditions.

Does the hood adjust?

The jacket features a grown-on hood, and the hem is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit to help lock out the chill.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for softshell fabrics.

Zipper is stiff.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it. If it persists, apply a small amount of wax or a zipper lubricant.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the adjustable hem is loosened. For more freedom, consider layering with lighter garments underneath.
