FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Fontanales Wind Jacket is designed primarily as a windbreaker and offers water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It can handle light rain but may not be suitable for heavy downpours.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener, bleach, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry low or hang to dry.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

This jacket provides excellent wind protection, which helps in cooler temperatures. However, it is lightweight and offers limited insulation. For very cold weather, layering with warmer items underneath is recommended.

What sizes are available?

The Fontanales Wind Jacket is available in a range of sizes for women. Please refer to the product page for specific size availability.

What material is the jacket made of?

The specific material composition can vary slightly by production run, but it is typically made from durable, lightweight synthetic fabrics designed for wind resistance and comfort.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The jacket features adjustable drawcords at the hem, allowing you to cinch it for a more personalized fit and to block out wind.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Jacket feels less wind-resistant over time

Check the care label for cleaning instructions. Washing the jacket according to instructions may help restore its water and wind-repellent properties. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede these functions.

Drawstring adjustment is loose

Inspect the drawstring channel and the toggle for any damage. If the toggle is not holding, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the drawstring itself is not frayed or broken.
