FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

This jacket is designed as a lightweight, versatile soft shell for protection against wind and light rain during outdoor activities and everyday wear.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant due to its DWR finish, meaning it can repel light rain but is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features a total of four zip pockets: two on the chest and two at the sides.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the hood is a 'grown on' design and cannot be detached.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

Is this jacket suitable for cold winter weather?

While it offers wind protection, it is a lightweight jacket and may not provide sufficient warmth for very cold winter conditions on its own. It is best layered over warmer clothing.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zip. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zip teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.

Jacket feels too tight or loose

Adjust the hem using the internal drawcord for a more customized fit. If the overall fit is incorrect, consider if a different size is needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.
  • Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish offers good protection against light rain.
  • Multiple secure zip pockets for storing valuables.
  • Adjustable hem provides a customizable and secure fit.
  • Breathable polyester material suitable for active use.

Cons

  • May not be sufficiently warm for very cold weather.
  • Hood is non-removable, which might be a preference for some users.
  • Sizing may run specific; checking a size guide is recommended.
  • Limited breathability compared to highly technical waterproof shells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is designed for general outdoor apparel compatibility. To maintain its performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
  3. Avoid: Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the DWR finish and fabric.
  4. Ironing: Iron on a low heat setting if necessary, preferably inside out.
