FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for transitional weather, such as spring and autumn. It offers protection against light rain and wind due to its water-repellent shell.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle (30°C), do not bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. It's best to wash with similar colors and consider professional cleaning for optimal care of the water-repellent finish.
What is the fit of the jacket?
The jacket has a regular fit, designed to be comfortable and allow for layering without being too tight or too loose.
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket has a water-repellent finish (DWR treatment), which means it can shed water in light rain conditions but is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What materials are used in its construction?
The shell is made from a blend of 83% Recycled Polyester and 17% Cotton, and the lining is 100% Recycled Polyester.
Does it have interior pockets?

Can I iron the jacket?
Yes, you can iron the jacket on a low setting if needed, but avoid high heat.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have diminished over time. Consider reapplying a DWR finish specifically designed for apparel, following product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to clear any obstructions. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Fabric feels less soft after washing
Ensure you are using a gentle wash cycle and a mild detergent. Avoid high heat drying. Re-washing with a fabric conditioner designed for technical fabrics might help restore softness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup. It is designed for immediate wear. For care, it is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C). Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if necessary. It is advisable to wash separately or with similar colors.
