FAQs
Is the EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket features a water-repellent treatment, which means it will shed light rain and splashes. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours.
How should I clean my jacket to maintain its properties?
Always refer to the care label inside your jacket. Typically, it should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning, as these can damage the technical fabric and water-repellent finish.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter weather?
The jacket is padded and wind-resistant, offering good warmth for cool conditions. For very cold winter weather, it is best used as a comfortable mid-layer underneath a heavier, waterproof outer shell, or with additional thermal layers beneath it.
What is the purpose of the included dust bag?
The dust bag is designed for convenient storage and portability. It allows you to pack the jacket neatly, protecting it from dust and making it easy to carry in a bag or luggage when you're on the go.
Does this jacket allow for good movement during activities?
Yes, the jacket is made from technical fabric and designed to maximize freedom of movement, making it comfortable for various active pursuits and everyday wear.
What material is the jacket made from?
The EA7 Core Lady Padded Hooded Jacket is made from polyester, a durable and functional technical fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff or restricts movement initially
Technical fabrics can sometimes feel a bit rigid when new. Wear the jacket a few times to allow the material to soften and conform to your body. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort.
Water repellency seems less effective over time
The water-repellent treatment can diminish with extended use and washing. Ensure you are washing the jacket according to the care label, avoiding harsh detergents. If needed, you can re-treat the jacket with a fabric-safe DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper gets stuck or is difficult to operate
Gently work the zipper up and down. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. A small amount of zipper lubricant (like graphite from a pencil or specialized zipper wax) can help smooth operation.
Jacket is creased after being stored in the dust bag
Hang the jacket immediately after unpacking it from the dust bag. For stubborn creases, a light steaming can help relax the fabric. Do not iron directly.
