FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Extol Stretch fabric?
The Extol Stretch fabric provides excellent flexibility and allows for a wide range of unrestricted movement, making it ideal for active pursuits.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a DWR finish, making it water-repellent and suitable for light showers. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rain.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash inside out at 30°C with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is insulating and lightweight, making it suitable for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it can be layered effectively over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
What does '240gsm' refer to?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter,' which is a measure of fabric density. 240gsm indicates a medium-weight fabric for the fleece material.
Does this jacket have a hood?
This specific model features a standing collar and does not include a hood. It is designed as a soft shell jacket without head protection.
Are there other color or size options available?
Yes, this jacket is available in various colors and sizes. Please check the product listing for the full range of options.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
This can occur in very humid conditions or during high-intensity activity due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly layered underneath and utilize the full zip for ventilation. If it persists, consider a more waterproof outer layer for very wet conditions.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. For heavy rain, this jacket offers water repellency, not full waterproofing, so a dedicated rain jacket might be needed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Fit is too loose
Adjust the toggle hem to tighten the fit around the waist, reducing drafts and creating a more streamlined silhouette. Consider layering with thicker items underneath if a looser fit is desired.
