FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and drizzle, but it is not seam-sealed or rated for heavy, sustained downpours.

Can I wear this in the winter?

This is a lightweight jacket. It is ideal for autumn or spring, or as a outer layer over a fleece or sweater during mild winter days.

What does Bluesign certification mean?

It means the jacket has been produced with a focus on sustainable manufacturing, ensuring the highest level of consumer safety and environmental impact reduction.

How do I ensure the water-repellent finish lasts?

Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Regularly tumble dry the jacket on low heat to maintain the water-repellent performance.

Does it have a hood?

This model focuses on a collar design; please check specific product images to verify the presence of a hood in your particular sub-variant.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric

The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the treatment; if that fails, consider applying a professional-grade DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.

YKK zipper feels stiff or sticks

Check the zipper track for debris or fabric fibers. Clean carefully and use a specialized zipper lubricant or a light amount of graphite to ensure smooth operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both urban and outdoor settings
  • High-quality YKK zippers for reliable long-term performance
  • Sustainable manufacturing with Bluesign certification
  • Adjustable components allow for a tailored fit
  • Lightweight feel ensures maximum comfort for all-day wear

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall
  • Polyester material lacks the insulation of heavier winter parkas
  • Limited to a casual or lifestyle aesthetic

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the performance of your jacket, adhere strictly to the care instructions: machine wash at 40°C on a delicate cycle. To preserve the water-repellent finish, tumble dry the garment on low heat, as this thermal action helps to reactivate the protective treatment on the outer shell. Ensure all YKK zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging. The jacket's regular fit is designed to accommodate light layering underneath, such as a thin sweater or base layer, without feeling restrictive.
