FAQs
What does 'Marsupial Pullover' mean?
A 'marsupial' pocket is a large, single pocket typically found on the front of a garment, similar to a kangaroo's pouch. 'Pullover' indicates that the garment is put on by pulling it over your head, usually without a full front opening.
How does the recycled nylon help the environment?
The nylon is made from postconsumer recycled fishing nets, which helps to reduce plastic waste in the ocean and decreases reliance on virgin petroleum-based materials.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that resists light moisture like mist or very light rain. It is not designed for heavy or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
What is UPF protection?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A UPF rating of 40+ means the fabric will block at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays when worn.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is designed as an outer layer for mild to moderate conditions. It offers some warmth and wind resistance but is not heavily insulated for very cold temperatures. Layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended for colder weather.
What does Fair Trade Certified™ mean?
It signifies that Patagonia has paid a premium to the workers who made the garment. This premium can be used to improve their communities and work lives, ensuring ethical labor practices.
How should I wash and dry the jacket to maintain its DWR finish?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. This low-heat drying process helps to reactivate the DWR finish.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp or water is soaking through
The DWR finish may need to be reactivated. Tumble dry on low heat for 20-30 minutes. If performance is still poor after reactivation, consider a DWR reapplication product suitable for recycled nylon.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Elastic cuffs feel loose
The elastic may have lost some of its tension due to extensive wear or improper care. Ensure proper washing and drying as per care instructions. Significant stretching may not be reversible.
Hook-and-loop closure is not sticking well
Clean both the hook and loop sides of the closure with a stiff brush to remove any lint or debris. Ensure the area around the closure is also clean.
