FAQs

What does DWR finish mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to fabrics that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the garment dry from light rain and snow.

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a DWR finish and is wind-resistant, offering protection from light rain. However, for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, it may not be fully waterproof. It is best suited for wind and light precipitation.

How do I determine my UK size?

The product description provides a conversion guide: 8 UK: 32 in, 10 UK: 34 in, 12 UK: 36 in, 14 UK: 38 in, 16 UK: 40 in, 18 UK: 43 in, 20 UK: 45 in. Measure your chest circumference to find the closest match.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This soft shell jacket is primarily designed for protection against wind and light rain. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating item, such as a fleece or down jacket, underneath.

How do I wash and maintain the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C, do not bleach, and tumble dry on a low heat. Avoid ironing and dry cleaning. Reapplying a DWR finish after washing is recommended to maintain its water-repellent properties.

What are the pocket details?

The jacket features two lower pockets and one chest pocket, all secured with zips for safe storage of your essentials.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and also features a drawstring for adjustment, allowing you to customize the fit and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish to the outer fabric. Follow the instructions on the DWR product you are using. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.

Ensure the inside of the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. If moisture is trapped, check that the DWR finish is intact and consider a re-application. Avoid wearing non-breathable layers underneath.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based zipper lubricant to the teeth. Move the zipper up and down gently to work in the lubricant.

Cuffs are too loose or too tight.

Adjust the hook-and-loop fasteners on the cuffs to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure they are fastened properly to prevent drafts.
