FAQs
Can I use this jacket for heavy rain?
The Airlite is designed primarily for breathability and airflow during activity, so it is not categorized as a heavy-duty waterproof jacket.
Why can't I use fabric softener?
Fabric softeners leave a film on synthetic fibers like nylon that blocks the pores of the fabric, destroying the moisture-wicking and anti-odour capabilities.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It is best used as a light outer layer or a base/mid-layer. It provides minimal insulation, so it should be paired with warmer layers in extreme cold.
How should I dry the jacket?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting. If possible, air drying is the best way to maintain the shape and performance of the nylon material.
Will the anti-odour feature wear off?
With proper care—specifically avoiding softeners and washing inside out—the performance features are designed to remain effective throughout the life of the garment.
Troubleshooting
The jacket feels less breathable after several washes.
You may have used fabric softener, which clogs the breathable weave. Try washing it again with a performance-specific detergent to clear the residue.
The fabric has developed a static cling.
Avoid over-drying in the tumble dryer. Remove the jacket while it is slightly damp or allow it to air dry to prevent static buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Acai Airlite Performance Jacket, proper laundry habits are essential. Always turn the garment inside out before placing it in the washing machine. Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using only mild detergents. Crucially, do not add fabric softeners, as these can coat the nylon fibers and negate the breathability and anti-odour features. The jacket is safe for tumble drying on a low setting; however, you should never iron the garment, as the heat can compromise the integrity of the technical fabric.
