FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Tredmoor Softshell Jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish and is water-resistant, making it suitable for light rain and showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What does 'Softshell XPT' fabric mean?
Softshell XPT (Extra Performance Technology) is a type of fabric designed to be wind-resistant, water-resistant, and breathable, offering flexibility and comfort for active outdoor use.
Can I adjust the hood or cuffs?
The jacket features stretch binding on the hood opening, cuffs, and hem for a snug fit. It does not have adjustable toggles or drawcords for these areas.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating its ability to allow water vapor to pass through the fabric.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
Periodically re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product after washing, following the product's specific instructions, to ensure optimal water repellency.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% polyester with a fabric weight of 200gsm.
Troubleshooting
Water not beading on the surface after washing.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Apply a commercial DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure underarm zips are open to allow for adequate ventilation. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt and residue can block pores. Consider if the external conditions (high humidity) are exceeding the jacket's breathability capacity.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Seams feel damp after light rain.
This jacket is water-resistant, not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, consider a dedicated waterproof jacket. Check that the main zippers are fully closed.
