FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Octagon II Softshell is designed as a versatile, all-season jacket. It offers wind resistance and water protection but provides minimal insulation. For very cold conditions, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warm mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. However, avoid using bleach or fabric softener, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or line dry.

What does 'printable' mean for this jacket?

It means the fabric surface is prepared to accept custom printing, such as company logos or designs. It is recommended to consult with a professional printer to determine the best application method for this type of softshell material.

How often should I re-apply the water repellent finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care. It's recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. This is typically needed after several washes or significant wear.

What is the benefit of the 3-layer membrane?

The 3-layer membrane is the core technology providing the jacket's waterproof and breathable qualities. It effectively blocks external moisture (rain) while allowing internal moisture (sweat vapor) to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable from both inside and out.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is primarily made from 96% Polyester and 4% Elastane, forming a 300gsm ETI softshell fabric with a 3-layer membrane.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.

This may be due to inadequate breathability. Ensure the inner zip guard and pockets are clear of obstructions. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, as trapped dirt or residue can impair breathability. Consider using a technical wash that helps restore fabric performance.

Water is soaking through the fabric, not beading off.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment designed for outdoor clothing following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Check that the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any caught fabric. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant) to the teeth.

Jacket feels tight or restrictive.

This jacket features a regular fit and natural stretch. If it feels too restrictive, consider if you are wearing too many thick layers underneath. For future purchases, check the size guide carefully or consider a larger size if you prefer a looser fit.

  • Excellent waterproof and breathable performance for comfort in various weather.
  • Lightweight and compact design for unrestricted movement.
  • Durable construction with a wind-resistant and water-repellent finish.
  • Comfortable fit with natural stretch for agility.
  • Practical storage with multiple zipped pockets.

Cons

  • Regular fit may not be ideal for all body shapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility:

  • Printing: The jacket is described as 'printable', indicating suitability for customisation with logos or branding. Specific printing methods (e.g., vinyl transfer, sublimation) and their long-term durability on this softshell fabric should be tested by a professional printer.
  • Layering: Designed to be worn over base layers and mid-layers. Its regular fit accommodates standard layering options.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, as these can degrade the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly after washing.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Alternatively, line dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  4. Re-proofing: For optimal water repellency, periodically re-proof the jacket using a suitable spray or wash-in product designed for technical outdoor clothing. Follow the product instructions for application, typically after washing and drying.
