FAQs

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is primarily constructed from 100% Polyamide.

Is the hood permanently attached?

No, the hood is removable, allowing you to adapt the jacket's style and function.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two large front pockets and one additional external pocket.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for practical, everyday outerwear use and easy layering. For very cold weather, adding a warm layer underneath is recommended, as the polyamide material itself provides moderate insulation.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat.

Does the jacket offer wind protection?

Yes, the polyamide material and secure fastenings provide good protection against wind.

Is this jacket suitable for wet conditions?

The polyamide fabric offers water resistance, making it suitable for light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing measures or a different type of outerwear might be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Snaps are hard to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the fabric is aligned correctly before snapping. Avoid forcing the snaps; if they feel excessively tight, check for any obstructions or fabric bunching. Over time, they may loosen slightly with normal use.

The hood is difficult to remove or reattach.

Examine the attachment points (likely snaps or a hidden zipper) and ensure they are clean and free of debris. Consult the garment's internal labels for specific instructions on hood removal/attachment, as mechanisms can vary.

Material appears to be losing water repellency.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions. For enhanced water repellency, consider using a specialized fabric re-proofer spray suitable for synthetic materials after washing and drying.
