FAQs

What does 'H2OShield' mean for this jacket?

H2OShield is a fabric technology that provides enhanced protection against water and wind, helping to keep you dry and comfortable in wet and windy conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a durable water-repellent finish and H2OShield technology, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

How do I care for the recycled polyester material?

The jacket is made from 97% recycled polyester and can be machine washed at 30°C with similar colors, using a non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

The jacket is insulating and wind-resistant, making it suitable for cooler temperatures. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional warm garments underneath is recommended.

What is the fit of this jacket?

The jacket has a relaxed fit, designed for comfort and ease of movement, allowing for layering underneath.

How many pockets does it have, and are they secure?

It has two side pockets, both of which feature zip fastenings to keep your essentials securely stored.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is reduced.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. If performance does not improve, re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you have avoided fabric softeners. A low-heat tumble dry can sometimes help to restore softness.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can also apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant.
