Product Information
Full details
The Castore Longline Jacket is designed for active men who require reliable protection during outdoor training and warm-ups in challenging weather. Featuring a durable water-repellent ProTek barrier and wadded insulation, it excels at trapping body heat while keeping the elements at bay. While it offers excellent thermal regulation, its longer cut and insulation make it better suited for moderate-to-cold training conditions rather than high-intensity summer activities where breathability is the primary concern.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a water-repellent barrier that protects against light rain, but it is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I wear this for running?
It is better suited for warm-ups, gym commutes, or low-intensity training; the insulation may lead to overheating during high-intensity cardio.
How should I clean the thermal lining?
Follow the garment care label, but generally, a cold, gentle machine wash is sufficient to clean the lining without damaging the synthetic insulation.
Does the hood provide significant warmth?
Yes, the integrated thermal lining in the hood is designed specifically to retain heat around the head and neck in cold conditions.
Is the sizing true to fit?
The jacket follows standard sizing, but because it is a longline style, ensure you consult the size guide if you prefer a looser fit for layering.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is losing its water-repellent capability
Wash the garment with a technical wash intended for water-repellent clothing and consider applying a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment.
Wrist tabs are not staying secure
Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for debris such as lint or thread; clean with a small brush to restore adhesion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable water-repellent finish keeps you protected from light precipitation
- Effective heat retention via specialized wadded insulation
- Adjustable cuffs offer a customizable, draft-free fit
- Extended length provides greater coverage than standard gym jackets
Cons
- Heavier feel compared to unlined windbreakers
- Not intended for high-intensity, high-heat summer workouts
- Requires specific care to maintain the water-repellent properties
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket, close all adjustable wrist tabs and zippers before washing. Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle to avoid damaging the wadded insulation. It is recommended to air dry the garment; avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can degrade the water-repellent coating. Periodically check the cuffs for wear and ensure the drawstring/tabs remain clear of debris. Because this jacket is designed as an outer layer, ensure you size it according to the clothes you intend to wear underneath, such as hoodies or compression gear.
