FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
As a waterproof shell jacket, it is designed to protect against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear insulating layers underneath, such as fleece or thermal base layers, to maintain warmth.
How do I maintain the waterproof features?
To maintain the waterproof features, wash the jacket according to the care instructions and consider reapplying a DWR treatment after washing to restore its water-repellent properties.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from waterproof brushed Hydrafort polyester fabric.
Can I put the jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed warm (40°C) on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.
Does the hood pack away?
Yes, the hood is concealed and stowable, meaning it can be neatly folded and stored within the jacket's collar when not in use.
Are there internal pockets?
The product description mentions multiple pockets for keeping possessions safe, but it does not specify if they are internal or external. Refer to product imagery or detailed specifications if this is critical.
What does 'peached fabric' mean?
Peached fabric refers to a finishing process that gives the fabric a soft, slightly fuzzy texture similar to the skin of a peach, enhancing comfort against the skin.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Follow the care instructions for applying a suitable re-waterproofer after washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.
Seam leaks have developed.
Check if the taped seams have come loose. Minor leaks may be temporarily patched with seam sealant designed for outdoor gear, but significant damage may compromise waterproofing.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This can be due to internal condensation from perspiration. Ensure good ventilation by opening zippers or wearing breathable underlayers. The mesh lining helps with some breathability.
