FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent treatment, meaning it will protect against light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof in heavy downpours.

What is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester technical fabric, including both the outer shell and the padding.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?

The jacket is padded and designed for autumn/winter, offering good warmth for mild to cool temperatures. For very cold winter weather, it's recommended to wear additional warm layers underneath.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

For optimal protection and to maintain its shape, store the jacket in the provided dust bag in a cool, dry place.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, it is not recommended to iron this jacket as high heat can damage the polyester fabric and its treatments. The material is designed to be wrinkle-resistant.

Does this jacket come in other colors?

This specific product is black. However, other variants of the Core Lady hooded jacket are available in different colors like blue, white, and pink, sold separately.

What does 'wind-resistant' mean for this jacket?

Wind-resistant means the fabric construction helps block the penetration of wind, significantly reducing the chilling effect often felt in breezy conditions and helping to retain body heat.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems less water-repellent after washing.

Ensure you are washing at 30°C and air drying. Over time, DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatments can wear off. Consider reapplying a suitable DWR spray specifically designed for technical fabrics, following the product's instructions.

Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.

The jacket has a regular fit. If it feels tight, check the size. Also, consider the thickness of the layers you are wearing underneath. For maximum freedom of movement, opt for thinner base layers.

Padded areas appear flattened or uneven.

After washing, gently pat and redistribute the padding by hand while the jacket is still damp and as it dries. Ensure it is fully dry before storing to prevent clumping.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite stick or specific zipper wax) along the teeth, avoiding direct contact with the fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your EA7 Core Lady Hooded Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it from its dust bag, and it's ready to wear. Ensure all zippers are functioning smoothly before first use.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed as a regular fit and is highly compatible with a variety of wardrobe styles, from casual activewear to everyday chic outfits.

Care Instructions

To ensure the longevity and maintain the performance of your jacket, follow these care guidelines:

Washing: Machine wash at 30°C. Use a gentle cycle with similar colors. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.
Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry flat or hang dry in a shaded area. High heat can damage the technical fabric and its water-repellent treatment.
Ironing: Do not iron. The polyester fabric and padding do not require ironing.
Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
Storage: When not in use, store the jacket in the provided dust bag to protect it from dust and environmental factors. Store in a cool, dry place.
