FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers water repellency and is designed for adverse weather. For prolonged heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket with taped seams might be more appropriate. This softshell is ideal for moderate rain and wind.

Can I layer items underneath this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. Its breathable nature means you can wear a base layer and a fleece or insulating mid-layer underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

What does 'ATL' stand for in DWR finish?

ATL refers to 'Advanced Textile Làmir,' a type of durable water repellent treatment that enhances the fabric's ability to shed water.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

What is the difference between waterproof and water-repellent?

Waterproof means a material is impervious to water under pressure. Water-repellent means the fabric resists water penetration to a degree, causing it to bead up and roll off, but it may not withstand prolonged immersion or high pressure.

Can this jacket be customized with logos?

The 'Printable' in some product titles suggests it is designed for customization. However, it is best to consult with a professional printing service experienced with softshell materials to ensure the integrity of the fabric and its performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear after washing, following product instructions.

Reduced breathability

Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof/breathable fabrics, avoiding fabric softeners. Ensure the membrane is not clogged.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no setup and is ready to wear. It is compatible with standard men's apparel sizing. To maintain its performance and longevity:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.
  • Ironing: Do not iron.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Detergent: Use a specific technical wash for waterproof/breathable fabrics for best results. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores and reduce breathability.
