FAQs
What makes the DrySeal Technology collar special?
The DrySeal Technology collar features a double-layer design. An inner cinch cord allows for a snug fit to keep rain out, while drainage holes on the outer layer prevent water from accumulating and running down your neck.
How do I know if I need this jacket versus a lighter rain jacket?
The HydroTour is designed for significant weather. If you frequently play in heavy rain, strong winds, or face unpredictable, harsh conditions, this jacket offers superior protection. For light showers or mild conditions, a lighter option might suffice.
Can I wear this jacket over a thicker sweater?
Yes, the jacket is designed to accommodate layering. Its fit allows for comfortable wear over a standard golf shirt and potentially a lighter mid-layer, though very bulky sweaters may restrict movement.
What is the warranty on the HydroTour jacket?
The Footjoy HydroTour Golf Jacket comes with a 3-Year Waterproof Guarantee, covering defects in materials and workmanship related to its waterproof performance.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
Re-activation of the DWR treatment is best done by tumble drying after washing. If water stops beading effectively, it's time to consider a DWR re-proofer application, typically after many washes.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable on a warm cycle. However, it's crucial to use a liquid detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softener to maintain the fabric's performance.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-activate it by tumble drying the jacket on a medium heat setting for 20-30 minutes. If this doesn't work, a DWR re-proofer can be applied following product instructions.
Jacket feels less breathable or clammy inside.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or residue. Check that the underarm vents are open and unobstructed. Mild washing detergent should be used, as fabric softeners can clog the fabric's pores.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track.
Minor seam leaks or reduced waterproofness.
Ensure the jacket has been washed and re-treated according to care instructions. For significant issues, consult the 3-year waterproof guarantee.
