FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is best suited for light to moderate rain and windy conditions. It's designed for everyday comfort and protection during wet weather.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the provided sizing chart. For example, UK size 2 corresponds to a 32-inch chest measurement, UK size 4 to 32 inches, UK size 6 to 34 inches, and so on. It's recommended to measure your chest and compare it with the chart.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily a waterproof outer layer. For cold weather, it can be layered over warmer clothing such as fleeces or sweaters to provide insulation.
Are the seams truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which means the seams are sealed with a waterproof tape to prevent water penetration.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Do not dry clean.
What is the waterproof rating?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 2000mm, which indicates its ability to withstand moderate levels of water pressure.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.
Zippers or fasteners are stiff
Clean the zipper or fastener area with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a wax-based product or a specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Hood is not staying in place
Ensure the toggle adjuster on the hood is tightened appropriately to secure it. Check that the hood itself is not damaged.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being waterproof
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to some moisture buildup. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath. Check that ventilation points (if any) are open and that the jacket isn't excessively tight.
