Product Information
Full details
The Cotton Traders Showerproof Padded Jacket is designed for individuals seeking reliable warmth and protection during transitional weather. It excels at providing a soft, comfortable fit thanks to its jersey finish, while the padded insulation ensures consistent heat retention. While it offers excellent utility for everyday casual use, it is important to note that the jacket is showerproof rather than fully waterproof, meaning it is better suited for light drizzle than heavy, sustained rainfall.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is showerproof. It provides protection against light rain, but it is not intended to withstand prolonged heavy downpours.
Can I remove the hood?
No, the hood is fixed to the garment and is not removable.
Are the front pockets secure?
The front pockets feature flaps which help keep contents secure and protected from the elements.
What is the material finish like?
The jacket features a soft jersey finish, which makes it much more comfortable and less 'crunchy' than standard plastic-based windbreakers.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the padding and water-resistant finish.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through during heavy rain
The jacket is showerproof, not waterproof. If exposed to heavy rain, retreat indoors as the fabric saturation point has been reached.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Check for debris or loose threads near the track. If the issue persists, run a pencil tip along the zipper teeth to act as a dry lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Cotton Traders jacket maintains its showerproof properties and shape, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cool machine wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the showerproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry the garment on a hanger away from direct heat sources to prevent the padding from clumping.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping the jacket compressed in small bags for long periods to maintain the integrity of the quilted padding.
- Compatibility: The jacket layers well over light knitwear or long-sleeve shirts. Given its comfortable cut, it is generally compatible with true-to-size layering underneath.
