FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is crafted from 100% polyester, offering durability and effective weather resistance.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for transitional seasons and offers protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, layering with warmer insulation underneath is recommended.
How do I determine the correct size?
The jacket is true to size with a regular fit. You can refer to the provided measurements (Centre back: 76cm, Sleeve length: 65.5cm for Size M) and compare them to your own measurements, or consult a sizing chart if available.
Can I wash and dry the jacket in a machine?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does 'welded seam construction' mean?
Welded seam construction means the seams are sealed with adhesive or heat to create a waterproof barrier, preventing water from entering through the stitching holes.
How do the underarm eyelets improve comfort?
The underarm eyelets are small holes that allow trapped moisture and heat to escape from the jacket, enhancing breathability and keeping you more comfortable during activity.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Information regarding the specific warranty period is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's official website for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the jacket has been cleaned according to care instructions. Consider reapplying a technical waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester or coated fabrics.
Mesh lining is snagged or torn.
Carefully attempt to mend small snags with a needle and thread. For significant tears, professional repair may be necessary.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Check for fabric obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to help it slide smoothly.
Jacket feels less breathable than expected.
Ensure the underarm eyelets are clear of debris. Wash the jacket to remove any buildup that might be impeding airflow. Check if the internal moisture is high due to strenuous activity, which can temporarily reduce perceived breathability.
