FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can repel light rain and moisture. It is not designed to be fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged downpours.
What temperature range is this jacket suitable for?
The jacket is best suited for mild to cool weather. Its warmth comes from the Warmloft insulation, making it ideal for temperatures where a light layer is sufficient or as a mid-layer in colder conditions.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Close all zippers before washing.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This can also help to re-loft the insulation.
What is Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft is a synthetic insulation technology that provides warmth comparable to down but remains effective even when damp. It is made from recycled materials in this jacket.
What are the Extol Stretch panels for?
The Extol Stretch panels are made from a highly elastic fabric and are designed to enhance freedom of movement. They are typically placed in areas that require greater flexibility, such as the underarms and side panels.
How much does the jacket weigh?
The jacket is constructed from lightweight 20D polyamide fabric and Warmloft insulation, making it very light and packable, ideal for activities where weight is a consideration.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp after light rain
The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Consider washing the jacket and reapplying a DWR treatment. Ensure the jacket is not exposed to prolonged or heavy rain.
Reduced warmth over time
The Warmloft insulation may have become compacted. Gently tumble dry on a low heat setting to help re-loft the insulation. Ensure the jacket is washed and dried according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or sticking
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
Stretch panels feel restrictive
Ensure the jacket is the correct size. Check that the stretch panels are not snagged on anything. The Extol Stretch panels are designed for movement, so initial tightness may indicate a need for a different size or a break-in period.
