Full details

Its key benefit is providing protection against the elements with water and wind-resistant properties, while remaining breathable. A potential caveat is its suitability primarily for moderate weather conditions, not extreme cold.

FAQs

What does 'Triple Layer Fabric' mean?

It indicates the fabric is constructed with three distinct layers bonded together to provide enhanced performance in terms of breathability, water resistance, and wind resistance, along with a comfortable lining.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, meaning it can withstand 5000mm of water pressure before leakage occurs. It's suitable for light to moderate rain.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

While it offers windproofing and some insulation with its microfleece lining, it is best suited for moderate temperatures. For extreme cold, it is recommended to layer it over warmer clothing.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a low temperature setting (around 30°C) with similar colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.

What are the benefits of the 'Drop Tail' hem?

The drop tail hem provides extended coverage at the back, offering better protection against wind and rain when you are bending or moving.

Does the jacket have internal pockets?

Yes, it features multiple pockets including two side pockets, one chest pocket, and an inner pocket for secure storage of essentials.

What certifications does the product hold regarding sustainability?

The jacket is certified by Amfori, Better Cotton Initiative, BSCI, Fair Labor Association, Oeko-Tex Standard 100, and WRAP, indicating a commitment to ethical and sustainable production practices.

Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel windproof

Ensure all zippers are fully closed, including the inner storm flap. Check that cuffs are tightened using the touch fastening tabs. Avoid washing with fabric softeners, as they can reduce water and wind-repellent properties.

Water is seeping through

Verify that the waterproof rating (5000mm) is suitable for the conditions. Light showers are handled well, but heavy or prolonged rain may exceed the jacket's protection. Ensure seams are intact and consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment if the fabric seems less effective over time.

Jacket feels too warm or too cool

This jacket is designed for moderate temperatures. For warmer conditions, wear it unzipped or with lighter base layers. For colder conditions, layer it over warmer insulation. The breathability aims to manage internal temperature, but external conditions play a significant role.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
