FAQs
What does 'water-repellent' mean for this jacket?
Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water, causing it to bead up and roll off the surface in light rain or spray. It does not mean the jacket is waterproof and will not prevent water from soaking through in heavy or prolonged rain.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with fasteners closed and separately. Avoid bleach and do not dry clean. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Proper care helps maintain the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the recycled polyester padding.
Is the padding made from recycled materials?
Yes, the jacket features recycled polyester padding, which contributes to its insulating properties while offering a more sustainable option.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This windcheater is best suited for cool to mild weather or as a layering piece. For very cold temperatures, it would be advisable to wear a warmer layer underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.
How do I adjust the hem and cuffs?
The hem and cuffs have elastication with a press button adjuster. You can secure the press button to create a snugger fit, which helps to block out wind and retain warmth.
What is the purpose of the snap buttons on the collar?
The snap buttons on the collar add a design detail and provide an option to fasten the collar more securely, offering additional protection against wind and a slightly different look.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellent finish seems less effective.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can degrade over time. Consider applying a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for outerwear to restore its performance. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear and not caught. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
This windcheater is designed for light to moderate weather. For colder conditions, consider layering a warm sweater or fleece underneath. Check that the hem and cuffs are adjusted snugly to prevent drafts.
