FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a water-repellent finish and is waterproof due to its membrane, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof outer shell might be necessary.

Can I print custom designs on this jacket?

The jacket is described as 'Printable'. However, specific printing methods and suitability should be confirmed with a professional printing service to ensure compatibility with the fabric and membrane without compromising its performance.

What is the main advantage of the 3-layer membrane?

The 3-layer membrane provides a balance of waterproofness, wind resistance, and breathability, ensuring comfort by keeping external moisture out while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape.

How does the 'natural stretch' benefit the wearer?

The natural stretch in the fabric allows for greater freedom of movement and flexibility, which is crucial for performing tasks that require agility or range of motion without the garment feeling restrictive.

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

It is ideal for outdoor work activities, trades, site visits, or any situation where you need protection from wind and light rain, combined with breathability and ease of movement. It's designed for 'smart and agile' on-the-job performance.

How should I care for the jacket to maintain its performance?

Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment to maintain its protective qualities.

Does this jacket have an inner lining?

The description mentions a 'warm backed woven Softshell XPT' fabric with a '3 layer membrane', indicating the material itself provides warmth and structure rather than a separate inner lining.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water repellent

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Apply a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical fabrics to restore the DWR finish.

Reduced breathability

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Check inner pockets and vents for any obstructions. If the issue persists, the membrane may be compromised.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth for smoother operation.

Jacket feels cold or offers little warmth

This is a softshell designed for active wear and moderate conditions. For colder weather, layer additional insulating garments underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a men's garment. The printable aspect suggests potential compatibility with certain customisation services, but users should verify specific printing methods and materials with a professional.

Care: To maintain the integrity of the waterproof and breathable features:

  1. Washing: Machine wash inside out at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically, especially after several washes, use a water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment suitable for technical outdoor fabrics to restore water repellency.
  4. Ironing: Do not iron. If creases are present, a very cool iron on the reverse side *might* be permissible after re-proofing, but check the care label.
