Hooded Marizion Padded Jacket - Grey

No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish designed to keep *light* rainfall at bay. For heavy rain, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

Feather-free insulation means the jacket uses synthetic padding instead of down feathers. This offers warmth while being an animal-friendly alternative and often maintains insulation properties better when wet.

Store the jacket in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Ensure it is clean and completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odors.

While suitable for general outdoor activity, this padded jacket is primarily designed for casual wear and light outdoor activities. For intense sports, a jacket with specific breathability and flexibility features might be more appropriate.

Stretch binding at the cuffs and hem provides a snug fit, helping to seal out cold air and wind, which enhances the jacket's thermal efficiency and comfort.

The product description mentions it is a 'Hooded' jacket, implying the hood is integrated. Typically, if a hood is removable, it would be specified as such. Therefore, it is likely a fixed hood.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is up if needed. Layering effectively underneath the jacket will also enhance warmth. Check if the jacket is clean, as dirt can compress insulation.

The water-repellent finish wears off over time. Wash the jacket following care instructions, as cleaning can sometimes rejuvenate the DWR. If not, consider using a wash-in or spray-on DWR re-proofing product specifically designed for outdoor garments.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like zipper wax or graphite) to the teeth and pull the slider up and down to distribute.
