FAQs
What is the primary material of the DLX Robina Jacket?
The jacket is crafted from 100% polyester with a TPU Membrane, providing waterproof and windproof qualities.
How do I ensure the best fit with this jacket?
You can adjust the fit using the hem drawcord, the adjustable grown-on hood, and the adjustable cuffs with tabs. Ensure all these are tightened appropriately for your comfort and protection.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm mid-layers such as fleece or insulated vests.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is recommended every 6-12 months, or when you notice that water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric's surface.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
What kind of detergent should I use for washing?
Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergent, fabric softener, or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane and coating.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, ironing is not recommended as high heat can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the main zip.
Ensure the main zip is fully closed and that no fabric is caught in the zip teeth. If water repellency has diminished, consider re-proofing the jacket.
Pockets not fully waterproof.
Verify that the pocket zips are fully zipped. For maximum protection, avoid storing sensitive electronics in pockets during heavy downpours. Ensure the flap over the zip is correctly positioned.
Jacket feels damp inside during activity.
This can occur during high-intensity activities due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted, allowing for some air circulation. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Reduced water repellency on the outer fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions for re-proofing the jacket using a suitable product.
