FAQs
Does this jacket have a hood?
No, the Positano Light Jacket features an adjustable collar with a drawcord but does not include a hood.
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to its DWR treatment, but it is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy rain.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is designed as a lightweight outer layer. It can be worn in winter as a shell over warm midlayers, but it does not provide insulation on its own.
What does bluesign product mean?
It means the textile production process meets strict environmental and safety standards by removing harmful substances from the start of the manufacturing process.
How should I store the jacket?
Use the internal hanging loop to store it on a coat rack, or fold it neatly to maintain its packable quality.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric
The DWR treatment may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and tumble dry on a low setting or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment product to restore water repellency.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the YKK track. Use a zipper lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil to ease friction if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the DWR (Durable Water Repellency) finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the coating that helps water bead off the fabric. The jacket is designed with a regular fit; if you plan to wear it over a chunky sweater or fleece, stick to your standard size. Always ensure the front zipper is fully closed and the internal hanging loop is used when storing the garment to maintain its shape.
