FAQs

What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best for windy conditions and light rain or drizzle. It offers windproof protection and a water-resistant finish.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which makes it water-resistant for light rain, but it is not fully waterproof.

How do I care for the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with like colors and mild detergent. Tumble dry low or air dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Reapply DWR treatment periodically.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

It's designed as a lightweight layer and offers minimal insulation. It can be worn in colder weather when layered over warmer base or mid-layers, but it is not a standalone cold-weather jacket.

What does 'Active Fit' mean?

An active fit is designed to provide a close-to-body fit that allows for maximum freedom of movement during athletic activities, without being overly loose or baggy.

How packable is the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be easily packed down into a small size, making it convenient to carry in a backpack or jersey pocket when not in use.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from stretch woven polyester with a DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels restrictive during movement.

Ensure the jacket is the correct size. The active fit is designed for mobility, so check for any binding points. Adjust the position of the jacket if needed.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish is for light rain resistance, not full waterproofing. For heavier rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment to the jacket if it's old or has been washed many times.

Zipper is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite (like from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Reflective details are peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat when washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective elements. If minor peeling occurs, refrain from picking at it. For significant damage, consult the manufacturer's warranty.
