FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.
What is the main benefit of the stretchy design?
The stretchy design allows for a greater range of motion and flexibility, making it ideal for active pursuits where unrestricted movement is important.
Can I put my own logo on this jacket?
Yes, the fabric is suitable for screen, transfer, and vinyl printing, making it an excellent choice for custom branding.
What temperature is this jacket suitable for?
This softshell jacket is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer with additional insulation.
Does it have a hood?
Based on the product description, this specific model does not mention a hood. It features an inner zip guard and zipped pockets.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its properties?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colors, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve breathability and water repellency.
What does 'warm backed woven Softshell' mean?
This refers to the fabric construction, indicating it is a woven softshell material with a warm, brushed or fleece-like backing for added insulation and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing.
Wash the jacket using a technical wash product designed for outdoor gear and avoid fabric softener. Re-apply a water-repellent treatment if necessary, following the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Jacket feels less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residues can clog the fabric's pores. Wash according to care instructions, and avoid using fabric softeners.
Seam tape is peeling (if applicable to specific design elements).
This is uncommon for softshells but if observed, contact the retailer for warranty information or professional repair advice.
