FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Compton Softshell provides water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or splashes, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a blend of polyester and elastane, offering durability, comfort, and stretch.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The jacket is designed for cooler, breezy conditions. For colder weather, it is recommended to layer it over a base layer or a fleece for added insulation.

How do I adjust the fit of the cuffs?

The jacket features cuff tabs that can be adjusted to achieve a closer fit around the wrists, helping to block out wind.

Are the pockets secure?

Yes, the jacket includes zip pockets on the chest and for the hands, providing secure storage for your essentials.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat.

Does the hood offer adjustable fit?

The hood is attached and designed to sit flat when not in use. While it offers coverage, it does not have specific adjustment toggles.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

Jacket feels too tight

Adjust the cuff tabs for a more relaxed fit. Consider wearing a thinner base layer underneath. If the fit is consistently too tight, explore alternative sizing options.

Pilling on fabric surface

This can occur with regular wear. Ensure proper washing and drying methods are used. A fabric shaver can be carefully used to remove pills.

Water resistance seems reduced

The softshell fabric offers water resistance, not waterproofing. For heavy rain, a more specialized waterproof jacket is recommended. Consider re-treating the fabric with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if performance diminishes significantly after multiple washes, following product instructions.
