FAQs
What does DWR C6 mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. C6 refers to the chemical class of the DWR treatment, indicating a balance between water repellency and environmental considerations.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. It is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket features a relaxed fit. Consider your usual running top size. If you prefer a closer fit, you might consider sizing down, but be mindful of layering.
Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is lightweight and best suited for mild to cool conditions. For colder weather, layering with an insulating base layer and mid-layer underneath is recommended.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. Typically, reapplying DWR treatment every 6-12 months or when water no longer beads on the surface is sufficient.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, fabric softeners are not recommended as they can clog the breathable pores of the fabric and reduce its performance.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This can occur if the jacket's breathability is compromised. Ensure the fabric is clean and free from detergents or fabric softeners that can block pores. Check for any obstructions in ventilation areas if present.
Water resistance seems reduced
The DWR C6 coating may degrade over time. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for running apparel after several washes, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Gently use a graphite pencil tip or a silicone-based lubricant along the zipper teeth to improve its glide.
