FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Luna Softshell Jacket features a DWR finish and a membrane, offering good resistance to light rain and wind. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.

What kind of material is the jacket made of?

The main fabric is a softshell composed of 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane, with a weight of 305 g/m². It includes a membrane and a DWR treatment.

How do I ensure the best fit?

The jacket is designed with a female fit. Utilize the adjustable cuffs and the elastic drawcord inside the hand pocket to fine-tune the hem fit. Articulated sleeves are built-in for better mobility.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket provides a good wind barrier and some warmth due to the softshell material and fleece lining. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to wear it as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Re-apply when you notice water no longer beads effectively on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Are there other color or size options available?

This guide focuses on the Blue, XXL size. Other color and size options may be available from the manufacturer or retailers.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Utilize the adjustable hem and cuffs for a more personalized fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers rather than bulky ones.

Water is not beading off the fabric effectively

The DWR treatment may need to be replenished. Follow the care instructions for washing and consider using a DWR re-proofer spray designed for technical outerwear.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, check for any debris in the track and clean if necessary. Use a graphite pencil or wax for lubrication if the zipper remains stiff.

Inner fleece feels less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of fleece and technical fabrics. Ensure you are using the gentle cycle and correct water temperature as per care instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers good protection against wind and light rain due to DWR treatment.
  • Designed for excellent mobility with articulated sleeves.
  • Features practical storage options with multiple pockets.
  • Comfortable to wear for extended periods with brushed fleece lining.
  • Adjustable fit enhances practicality and protection.

Cons

  • May not be warm enough for very cold conditions without layering.
  • The female-specific fit might not be ideal for all wearers.
  • Relies on a specific washing method to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: The Luna Softshell Jacket is designed as an outer layer. It pairs well with base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  1. Machine Wash: Use a gentle cycle in lukewarm water at 40°C.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.
  3. Bleach: Do Not Bleach.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Avoid high temperatures.
  5. Ironing: Iron on a low setting if necessary.
  6. Dry Cleaning: Do Not Dry Clean.

Regularly maintaining the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, potentially with specific re-proofing sprays, can help preserve its water-resistant properties over time.
