FAQs
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The jacket is crafted primarily from Polyester, with recycled polyester padding for insulation.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish suitable for light rain or showers. It is not waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I know if I should size up or down?
The jacket is designed for layering. Consider your typical layering habits; if you prefer wearing thick sweaters underneath, you might consider sizing up. Refer to the brand's size chart for specific measurements.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.
What does 'diamond quilting' mean?
Diamond quilting refers to the pattern of stitching that creates a series of diamond shapes across the fabric. This not only adds to the aesthetic but also helps to keep the insulation evenly distributed.
How do the elasticated cuffs and hem adjusters work?
The elasticated cuffs and hem have integrated press button adjusters. You can snap them to a tighter setting to secure the fit and prevent wind from entering.
What is the benefit of the water-repellent finish?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish helps water bead up and roll off the fabric surface, providing protection against light moisture and keeping the jacket from becoming saturated in light weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated cuffs or hem losing elasticity.
Ensure the garment is not overstretched during drying or storage. Gentle washing and air drying can help preserve elasticity.
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Consider using a re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor apparel to restore water repellency.
Jacket appears wrinkled after washing.
Remove the jacket from the washing machine promptly. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. If needed, iron on a low setting, avoiding direct heat on any emblems or labels.
