Product Information
Full details
The Brakeburn Babcary Jacket in navy is a durable, stylish choice for adult men seeking a reliable outer layer for transitional weather. Featuring a DWR-coated nylon exterior and a soft fleece-lined interior, it provides an excellent balance of water resistance and warmth; however, its heavier construction means it is best suited for cooler days rather than high-intensity outdoor activities.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to a DWR coating, which makes it ideal for light rain, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy or prolonged rain.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The design focuses on external zippered pockets for secure storage of daily items.
How should I wash this jacket?
Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not bleach or use heavy fabric softeners.
Can I tumble dry the jacket?
It is best to air dry to maintain the lifespan of the synthetic materials and the DWR coating.
Is the hood removable?
The Babcary jacket model features a standard collar construction without a hood.
Troubleshooting
Zip feels stiff or sticks during use
Apply a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth of the zipper to lubricate the track.
Water soaking into the fabric instead of beading
The DWR coating has likely worn off; clean the jacket and apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR replenishment treatment.
Pilling on the ribbed cuffs
Use a fabric shaver or a small pair of scissors to carefully remove pilling from the high-friction rib areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a standalone piece designed for a standard fit. For optimal care, it is recommended to follow the garment's wash tag instructions, typically involving a cool wash cycle to preserve the integrity of the DWR coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent properties of the outer fabric. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and ensure zippers are closed during storage to prevent snags. If the water-repellency begins to fade over time, consider applying a specialized fabric re-proofer to restore its performance.
