What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for wet and windy conditions, offering waterproof and breathable protection suitable for everyday wear, commuting, and light outdoor activities.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regularly clean the jacket according to the care instructions and periodically re-apply a DWR treatment to maintain its water-repellent properties.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity sports?
While breathable, the jacket is primarily designed for moderate activity. For very strenuous exercise, you might experience some moisture build-up due to the intensity of exertion.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from 100% Polyester Isotex 15000 fabric with a cotton canvas look. The lining is 100% polyester taffeta.
Does the hood offer adjustability?
Yes, the grown-on hood features drawcords, allowing you to adjust the fit for better protection against wind and rain.
Are the pockets secure?
The jacket has two lower patch pockets with flaps and snap fastenings, providing secure storage. It also includes an internal security pocket for valuables.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergents or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels damp inside after wearing.
Ensure the breathability of the fabric is not compromised. Check that the garment is clean and that internal moisture (sweat) is not exceeding the fabric's breathability capacity. Ensure the vents (if any) are clear.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth.
Fabric loses its smooth feel or water repellency.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a specific technical fabric cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners and biological detergents, as they can damage the fabric's performance.
