FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can resist light rain or snow for a short period, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed to block wind and offer protection against light moisture.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The main material is 100% polyester, specifically a 2-layer softshell fabric that is bonded, water-repellent, and approximately 255 g/m².
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is unlined and primarily designed for wind resistance and breathability. For very cold weather, it should be worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers and a base layer.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash warm (40°C) with similar colors. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not iron or dry clean.
What are the pocket options available?
The jacket features a chest pocket with a zipper, front pockets with zippers, and inner pockets for secure storage.
Does the jacket have a hood?
No, this softshell jacket does not come with a hood. It features a fleece-lined collar for neck warmth.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket has adjustable sleeve ends with Velcro and an adjustable hem with a drawstring, allowing you to customize the fit and seal out drafts.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil or a bit of wax to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Adjust the hem and sleeve cuffs for a better fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers instead of bulky ones.
Reduced wind resistance or water repellency.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment suitable for softshell fabrics.
Fleece-lined collar is uncomfortable.
Ensure the collar is clean. The fleece lining is designed for comfort, but if irritation persists, consider wearing a scarf or neck gaiter.
