FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, but it is recommended to wash it at a low temperature with like colors and avoid aggressive spinning.

Can I wear this in heavy rain?

This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. It is designed to handle light rain, but it may soak through during heavy or prolonged downpours.

What does 'PFC-free' mean?

It means the jacket uses a water-repellent finish that does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often harmful to the environment.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

No, this specific model features a cadet collar and does not include a hood.

Are the pockets deep enough for a large smartphone?

Yes, the side zip pockets are designed to be spacious enough to securely hold most modern smartphones and everyday accessories.

Is the jacket breathable?

The soft-shell fabric is designed to offer a balance between heat retention and breathability, making it suitable for moderate activity levels.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellency seems to be fading

Wash the jacket to remove dirt and residue, then tumble dry on a low setting or iron at a low temperature to reactivate the Bionic Finish.

Fleece lining showing signs of pilling

Use a fabric shaver or lint roller to gently remove surface fuzz, and avoid washing with rougher items like denim or items with Velcro.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris; applying a tiny amount of candle wax or specialized zipper lubricant can restore smoothness.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Warm and comfortable fleece lining
  • Environmentally friendly, PFC-free water-repellent finish
  • Durable bonded construction
  • Ethically manufactured to high standards
  • Functional side zip pockets

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme, heavy rainfall
  • Limited to one specific style of cadet collar
  • Single-color family aesthetic may not suit all preferences

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in optimal condition, always check the garment label for specific temperature settings. Because of the water-repellent Bionic Finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket using a mild, non-biological detergent and avoid heavy fabric softeners, as these can strip the coating over time. The jacket is designed for standard layering; its classic fit allows it to be worn comfortably over a sweater or base layer. Store the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry, well-ventilated area to maintain its shape and prevent moisture buildup in the fleece lining.
