FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and showers but is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Softshell fabric.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features a toggle adjuster, typically located at the back or sides, allowing you to tighten it for a more secure fit.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and offers wind resistance. For colder temperatures, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer mid-layers such as fleece or insulated jackets.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the two side pockets are secured with zippers, providing safe storage for your belongings.
How should I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and then tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.
What does 'DWR Finish' mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in wet conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low heat for 20 minutes or ironing on low heat (with a cloth barrier). For a more thorough refresh, consider using a specialized DWR spray after washing.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. You can lubricate a stiff zipper with graphite (from a pencil tip) or a bit of wax.
Jacket feels damp inside after activity
This is likely due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket is not too tight and that the full zip is open slightly for ventilation during strenuous activity. The breathable fabric helps, but intense exercise can still lead to internal moisture.
