FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which is effective for light rain but not prolonged heavy exposure.
Can I iron this jacket?
No, ironing can damage the polyester material and the protective water-resistant coating.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable; just ensure you use similar colours and avoid bleach or fabric softeners.
How many pockets does it have?
The jacket features three utility pockets for storage.
What is the primary material?
It is constructed from stretch recycled polyester with a microfleece backing.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is absorbing water instead of shedding it.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a technical water-repellent spray designed for softshell garments.
Fleece lining feels less soft after washing.
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can mat the synthetic fibers of the fleece. Use a mild detergent instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket does not require any special setup—simply choose your size (Medium in this variant) for an agile, tailored fit. To ensure the longevity of the garment and its protective DWR finish, please follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash with similar colours to prevent dye transfer.
- Avoid Additives: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the performance of the DWR coating and the fleece.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting only.
- Restrictions: Do not dry clean or iron the jacket, as these processes can damage the polyester fibers and technical coatings.
