Product Information
Full details
The Castore Longline Jacket is designed for athletes and fitness enthusiasts who require reliable protection during outdoor training in unpredictable weather. Featuring the brand's ProTek technology, it provides a durable water-repellent barrier and wadded insulation to trap body heat, making it an excellent choice for warm-ups or cool-downs; however, its insulated design may be too warm for high-intensity indoor sessions where breathability is the priority.

FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, the thermal lining and hood are integrated into the design to ensure maximum heat retention.
Can I wear this for running?
Yes, it is suitable for cold-weather runs, though the insulation may be too warm for fast-paced, high-intensity running.
Does this jacket have pockets?
Yes, the jacket is designed with functional pockets suitable for securing small essentials during training.
Is the fabric machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable; however, please follow the care label for specific temperature settings to protect the technical coating.
Is the fit true to size?

Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Use a technical DWR spray-on treatment designed for synthetic shells after cleaning.
Zipper feels stiff or catches.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a light touch of silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Castore Longline Jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners as they can degrade the water-repellent properties of the ProTek finish.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the synthetic insulation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the jacket's shape and insulation loft.
- Compatibility: The jacket is cut for a standard athletic fit and is intended to be worn over base layers or mid-layers. If you plan to wear bulky hoodies underneath, consider your sizing requirements carefully.
