Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight for layering.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Consider wearing thinner base layers or a lighter mid-layer underneath.

Reduced wind resistance after washing.

Check if fabric softener was used during washing. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for outerwear according to product instructions.

Jacket is not drying quickly.

Ensure the tumble dryer is set to low heat and not overloaded. Avoid using fabric softener, which can impede drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket functions as outerwear. It is compatible with other clothing items for layering purposes, such as base layers, mid-layers (fleeces, sweaters), and waterproof shells. Ensure you select the appropriate size for optimal comfort and layering ability.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine Wash Cold: Wash the jacket using a gentle cycle with cold water.
  2. Mild Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they can damage the fabric's properties.
  3. Tumble Dry Low: Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. It is recommended to remove it promptly once dry.
  4. Do Not Iron or Dry Clean: Avoid ironing the jacket and do not dry clean it, as these processes can harm the material and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
