FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Bela II is a softshell jacket, offering wind resistance and some insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it with a warm mid-layer (like fleece) and a thermal base layer. It is not designed as a standalone winter expedition jacket.
How do I know if the size is correct?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer for specific measurements. The XXL size is equivalent to a UK dress size 18. Ensure to check measurements for chest, waist, and sleeve length.
What does 'TPU Membrane' mean for the fabric?
A TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) membrane is a thin layer bonded to the fabric. It enhances the jacket's wind resistance and water repellency while allowing some breathability, helping to manage moisture from the inside.
Can I wear this jacket in the rain?
Yes, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can withstand light rain or showers. However, it is not fully waterproof, so it may not keep you dry during prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall.
How often should I reapply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks in, it's a good indicator that the DWR treatment needs refreshing. You can use commercially available spray-on or wash-in DWR treatments.
What other colors are available for the Bela II jacket?
The Bela II jacket is available in a range of colors, including Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, and Teal Mist, in addition to this Red variant.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. A small amount of graphite from a pencil or a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Adjust the drawcord at the hem to loosen the fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath; consider a lighter base layer if needed.
Water is penetrating the fabric during heavy rain
This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a dedicated waterproof outer shell. Ensure the jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is intact; reapplication may be necessary if performance has diminished.
Cuffs are too loose and let in air
Utilize the tab adjusters on the cuffs to tighten them for a snugger fit around your wrists.
