New Balance Utility Woven Jacket - Grey - Size M

No, the New Balance Utility Woven Jacket is designed for light showers and protection against light rain. It is not waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

The hood is fixed and can be stowed away into the collar by zipping it into the designated compartment.

It is best suited for everyday casual wear, commuting, and light outdoor activities in mild or transitional weather conditions where you need a light layer of protection from the elements.

This jacket is lightweight and primarily offers protection from wind and light rain. For colder weather, it is best used as an outer layer over warmer mid-layers such as fleece or insulated jackets.

Machine wash cold with like colors on a gentle cycle, using a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Regular fit indicates a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, allowing for comfortable movement and the possibility of layering underneath.

Gently try to move the zipper pull up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax can help lubricate the teeth.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outerwear, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing.

Make sure the hood is completely dry and not bunched up before attempting to zip it into the collar. Check the zipper track for any obstructions.
