FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is water-repellent with a 5000 mm rating, suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
What does 'breathable 3000 mvp' mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission. A rating of 3000 mvp means the fabric allows a moderate amount of water vapor (sweat) to pass through, helping to keep you comfortable during physical activity.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the manufacturer or measure your chest and waist. Compare these measurements to the jacket's specifications. Consider the layering you plan to do underneath when selecting your size.
Can I wear this jacket in freezing temperatures?
The jacket provides protection against cold environments (EN 14058:2017) and has a fleece lining for warmth. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.
How often should I re-proof the jacket?
Re-proofing is typically recommended annually or whenever you notice a significant decrease in water repellency. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product you use.
What is the main difference between this and a fully waterproof jacket?
A water-repellent jacket (like this softshell) resists water penetration to a certain degree, suitable for light rain. A fully waterproof jacket uses materials and construction (e.g., taped seams) designed to prevent any water from entering, even in heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside.
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated from heavy rain and check if the breathability has been compromised. If symptoms persist after washing and re-proofing, the membrane may be less effective.
Water is soaking through.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Try washing with a technical fabric cleaner and applying a water-repellent treatment suitable for softshell jackets.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone-based zipper treatment.
Detachable hood is difficult to reattach.
Align the hood attachment points carefully with the jacket collar before attempting to fasten. Ensure any zippers or snaps are clean and free of debris.
