Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this jacket be worn as an outer layer in the rain?

The Endurance Midlayer has a durable water repellent finish, which can handle light rain or showers. For prolonged or heavy rain, it is best used as a midlayer under a waterproof outer shell.

What is the main advantage of the ILUS Lite fabric?

The ILUS Lite fabric offers a combination of high stretch for freedom of movement, breathability to manage body heat, wind resistance to reduce chill, and water repellency for protection against light moisture.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Crucially, avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-repellent properties and breathability of the fabric. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

What does UPF 50+ mean?

UPF 50+ signifies that the fabric provides excellent protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blocking at least 98% of harmful UV rays. This is beneficial for extended outdoor exposure.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

As a midlayer, it provides good insulation when combined with a base layer and an outer shell. For extremely cold conditions, you may need to add a heavier insulating layer or a warmer outer jacket.

What is SEAMSMART technology?

SEAMSMART technology refers to the garment's construction, designed for seamless integration and optimal flexibility, minimizing potential points of irritation and maximizing freedom of movement.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product instructions. Ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.

Fabric feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the garment is clean; dirt and oils can impair breathability. Check that the base layer underneath is also breathable and moisture-wicking. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.

Zipper sticking

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Fit feels too tight

This garment has a technical, close-fitting cut for performance. Consider if a larger size would be more appropriate, or if your intended use requires a looser fit, this midlayer might not be the ideal choice for that specific need.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility and freedom of movement due to high-stretch fabric.
  • Effective protection against wind and light rain.
  • Breathable material prevents overheating during strenuous activities.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant panels for longevity.
  • Lightweight and packable, suitable for layering.
  • Integrated hood and zipped pockets add practical functionality.

Cons

  • Water repellency may be reduced with prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
  • The technical fit might be too close-fitting for some users.
  • Primarily designed as a midlayer, may require an outer shell for severe weather.
  • Fabric weight of 235 g/m² might be slightly warm for very mild conditions when worn alone.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. The adjustable hood and elasticated cuffs and hem allow for a personalized fit.

Compatibility: The midlayer is designed to work effectively with other outdoor apparel. It pairs well with base layers for added warmth and is intended to be worn under a waterproof or windproof outer shell for comprehensive weather protection. It is suitable for most outdoor sports and activities.

Care: To maintain the performance of the fabric, especially its water repellency, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent finish and affect fabric breathability.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Re-proofing: For best results, re-apply a water-repellent finish periodically, following the product instructions (e.g., using a spray-on or wash-in treatment), especially after significant wear or washing.
