FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a water-repellent finish and a breathable membrane, making it resistant to light rain and wind. However, it is not fully waterproof and may not provide sufficient protection in heavy downpours.

How should I wash the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth. For colder conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.

What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?

Softshell XPT refers to a type of fabric technology that offers a balance of waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant properties, combined with stretch and durability, suitable for active outdoor use.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

The water repellency can be restored by cleaning the jacket and then applying a specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear.

What is the purpose of the adjustable shockcord hem?

The adjustable shockcord hem allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to prevent wind from entering and to create a more secure and comfortable fit.

Are there different sizes and colors available?

Yes, this model is available in various sizes and colors. Please refer to the product listings for specific availability.

Troubleshooting

Water not beading off effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity

This can indicate high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog pores and reduce breathability. Consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.

Seams feel uncomfortable

Ensure the inner zip guard is correctly positioned. If discomfort persists, consider wearing a baselayer that covers the seams.
