FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a waterproof membrane and DWR finish, offering good protection against rain. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a dedicated heavy-duty waterproof jacket might be more suitable. This jacket is best for moderate conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind resistance and some insulation due to its warm-backed woven fabric. For very cold weather, it is designed to be layered over warmer mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and tumble drying. Line dry and do not iron. Always check the garment's care label for specific instructions.
What does '3 Layer Printable Softshell' mean?
It refers to a construction where the waterproof/breathable membrane is sandwiched between the outer fabric and an inner lining, offering durability and comfort. 'Printable' indicates the outer surface is suitable for applying logos or designs.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
After washing and drying, you can restore the water repellency by applying a specialized fabric re-proofer spray designed for outdoor wear. Follow the instructions on the re-proofer product.
What is the benefit of the adjustable shockcord hem?
The adjustable hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket, creating a snugger fit to prevent wind from entering and to help retain body heat.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. However, it should not be tumble dried or ironed.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then use a dedicated fabric re-proofer spray, following the product's guidelines.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to the breathability limit being reached during intense activity or the inner membrane becoming clogged. Ensure the jacket is clean, especially the membrane. For intense activity, consider a more breathable garment or ensure adequate ventilation via the zip if possible.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. You can also use a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant on the teeth.
Print is peeling or damaged
This often results from improper application or care. Ensure printing was done using methods suitable for softshell and follow the care instructions strictly. Avoid high heat and harsh detergents.
