FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Exodus Softshell Jacket is water-resistant, meaning it is treated to repel water and protect against light showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
What is the primary benefit of the scooped back?
The scooped back provides extra coverage at the lower back, which is particularly useful for activities like cycling where you are often in a forward-leaning position.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is wind-resistant and has a fleece-lined hood for added warmth, making it suitable for cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not bleach or iron.
Is the hood detachable?
The product description mentions an adjustable hood, but does not specify if it is detachable.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for cycling and general everyday wear, offering protection against wind and light rain.
Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced
The water-repellent treatment may need reapplication. Use a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Avoid excessive layering underneath if you are engaged in high-intensity activity.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax to lubricate the zipper teeth if needed.
