FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a durable water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain or drizzle. It is not designed as a fully waterproof garment and would not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rainfall.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or air dry. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning.
What does 'Warmloft insulation' mean?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation technology that mimics the performance of down by trapping air to provide warmth without significant weight or bulk.
What are the Extol Stretch panels for?
Extol Stretch panels are made of a more flexible fabric integrated into key areas (like the sides and underarms) to provide enhanced freedom of movement and breathability, especially during dynamic activities.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This hybrid jacket is excellent for mild to cool conditions or as a mid-layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over thermal base layers and potentially under a heavier insulated or waterproof outer jacket.
How compressible is the jacket?
The jacket is designed to be easily compressible, meaning it can be packed down into a small volume, making it convenient to carry in a backpack when not in use.
What material is the main body made of?
The main body of the jacket is constructed from 100% lightweight 20D polyamide fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water repellency.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for outdoor apparel.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently rub a graphite pencil lead along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath. Check that the insulation is not compressed and that the jacket is clean, as dirt can reduce loft.
Stretch panels feel restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check for any snagged threads on the stretch panels that might be impeding movement.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash cool on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach.
