FAQs

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, using a technical fabric detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the fabric. Avoid high heat during washing and drying as well.

Is this jacket suitable for winter activities?

The Borealis Hoody provides some warmth, but it's best suited for milder temperatures or as a mid-layer during winter. For very cold conditions, consider a heavier insulated jacket.

What is the fabric made from?

The jacket is made with recycled Matrix fabric, which is a blend of materials designed to provide wind resistance, breathability, and stretch.

How do I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods to maintain its loft and breathability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less breathable than expected.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can reduce breathability. Check that all zippers are fully open or closed, as needed, to optimize airflow.

Water is penetrating the fabric.

The Borealis Hoody is water-resistant, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider wearing a waterproof shell over it.
