FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
This jacket is windproof and water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or moisture. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy or prolonged rain.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester, featuring a double-layered, ripstop fabric that is 255g/m².
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The fit can be adjusted at the sleeve ends using Velcro straps and at the hem using the internal drawcords.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is unlined, making it best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.
What kind of pockets does the jacket have?
It features a chest pocket with a zipper, two front pockets with zippers, and an inside pocket.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) with similar colors, using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Do not iron.
Does the hood come off?
No, the hood is fixed and adjustable with a drawcord for a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive when moving
Ensure all adjustments (hem, cuffs) are loosened before putting on, then re-tighten for a secure fit. Check if the size is appropriate; consider a larger size if frequent stretching occurs.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check the zipper track for any fabric or debris that may be obstructing it. Gently clean the track and apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Windproofness seems reduced
Ensure the front zipper flap is properly closed. Check the jacket's fabric for any damage, such as tears in the ripstop material, which could compromise wind resistance. Wash according to care instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
Hood adjustment is not holding
Verify that the drawcords are properly threaded through the eyelets and that the toggles are functioning correctly. If the drawcords are worn, they may need replacement.
