FAQs
What season is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for spring and fall, offering protection against wind and light rain. It can also be used as an outer layer in milder winter conditions or as a windbreaker in cooler summer evenings.
How do I know if the relaxed fit is right for me?
A relaxed fit offers more room for movement and layering. If you prefer a snugger, more athletic fit, consider sizing down or looking at different styles.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams would be more appropriate.
What does WindWall™ fabric do?
WindWall™ fabric is engineered to significantly reduce wind chill while maintaining a good level of breathability, keeping you warm without overheating.
How should I care for the recycled materials?
Follow the standard care instructions for the jacket. The use of recycled materials does not change the maintenance requirements. Avoid harsh chemicals and high heat during washing and drying.
Are the pockets truly secure?
Yes, the hand pockets feature zippers, providing secure storage for items like a phone, keys, or wallet.
What is the pattern on the jacket?
The jacket features a geometric grid pattern throughout its design.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully windproof
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is adjusted correctly. Check for any tears or damage to the WindWall™ fabric.
Water not beading off effectively
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reapplication. Follow care instructions to wash and consider using a DWR treatment spray after drying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Poor breathability, feeling clammy
Ensure the back ventilation panel is not obstructed. If layering, use moisture-wicking base layers. Wash the jacket to remove any residue that might impede breathability.
