FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or snow showers. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
What type of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket uses a synthetic fiber filling, known for its lightweight warmth and performance even when damp.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
Yes, it provides good warmth for its weight and can be worn on its own in cool conditions or as a mid-layer under a heavier jacket in very cold temperatures.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to re-apply the water-repellent finish.
What does 'bluesign certified' mean?
Bluesign certification indicates that the textile product is manufactured with the least possible impact on people and the environment, ensuring responsible resource use and consumer safety.
Does the hood adjust?
The product description does not specify hood adjustability. Typically, hoods on such jackets may have drawcords for a snugger fit.
Can this jacket be machine washed?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less water-repellent than before.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket lost some of its loft/puffiness.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls. This can help to re-distribute the synthetic filling and restore loft.
Reduced breathability after washing.
Ensure you are using a specialized technical wash detergent and that no fabric softener was accidentally used. Rinse thoroughly.
