FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Vardag Vindby Jacket is ideal for a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, kayaking, and general everyday outdoor use where wind and light rain protection are needed.

How do I maintain the water resistance of the jacket?

To maintain its water resistance, the jacket should be re-impregnated after washing. Follow the specific instructions for your chosen re-impregnation product, ensuring it is suitable for polyamide and cotton blends.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket is described as water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain or drizzle. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more suitable.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a loose fit, which is designed to allow for comfortable layering over other clothing and to provide good freedom of movement.

How should I wash the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. It is important not to use fabric softener and to avoid tumble drying. Always re-impregnate after washing.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a blend of 54% polyamide and 46% organic cotton, treated with a wax finish.

Does the hood offer adjustability?

Yes, the jacket features a fixed hood with a drawstring at the back, allowing you to adjust its fit for better protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

Ensure the jacket has been properly re-impregnated after washing, following the product's care instructions for the waxing treatment.

Hood fit is loose

Adjust the drawstring at the back of the hood for a snugger fit. Ensure it is tied securely.

Jacket feels too warm during activity

Utilize the mesh ventilation at the back yoke by ensuring it is not obstructed. Consider layering with lighter base layers or removing the jacket if conditions permit.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Gently try to align the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught. A small amount of wax can sometimes help with smooth zipper operation.
