Polo Ralph Lauren Windbreaker Harrington Jacket - Blue

This jacket is a windbreaker, meaning its primary function is to block wind. While the 100% polyester material offers some inherent resistance to light moisture, it is not designed to be fully waterproof and will not protect against heavy rain.

The jacket is ideal for transitional seasons like spring and autumn, and cooler summer evenings. It provides lightweight protection from wind and mild temperatures, making it a versatile layering piece.

The jacket features a regular fit, designed for comfortable wear. For the most accurate sizing, we recommend consulting the official Polo Ralph Lauren size chart, paying attention to chest and sleeve measurements.

Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layering. You can comfortably wear a t-shirt, a long-sleeve shirt, or even a light sweater or hoodie underneath for added warmth without feeling restricted.

The embroidered Polo Pony is durable. To ensure its longevity, follow the general care instructions for the jacket: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, and avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the embroidery. Do not iron directly over the logo at high heat.

As it's made from 100% polyester, it offers good wind protection. While polyester is generally less breathable than natural fibers like cotton, the jacket's design makes it suitable for moderate activity and conditions where wind protection is prioritized over extreme breathability in very hot weather.

First, ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, lightly rub a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth to help it glide more easily.

Polyester can sometimes retain wrinkles. To minimize this, tumble dry on a very low setting and remove the jacket immediately when dry. Alternatively, hang dry on a sturdy hanger. A cool iron can be used on a low setting, ensuring not to apply excessive heat which could damage the fabric.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle with cold water and avoiding harsh detergents. Over-drying at high temperatures can sometimes make polyester feel stiffer. Consider using a fabric softener specifically designed for synthetic materials during the rinse cycle, or air dry to maintain fabric suppleness.
