Full details

FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Warmloft insulation?
Warmloft insulation provides warmth similar to down but is made from synthetic fibres. This means it retains insulating properties even when damp and is generally easier to care for.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket features a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, which is designed to shed light rain and moisture. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It's ideal for everyday wear, school runs, light walks, and as a layering piece in cooler, dry conditions. It's designed for comfort and light protection rather than extreme outdoor pursuits.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its water repellency?
After washing, you can reapply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions to refresh the water-repellent finish. Ensure the jacket is fully dry after washing and any treatments.
Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?
The jacket is designed to be lightweight. While you can wear a light to medium-weight sweater underneath, a very bulky sweater might make the fit feel tight, depending on your usual size.
What material is the jacket made from?
The main outer fabric is lightweight 20D polyamide fabric, and it features synthetic Warmloft down-touch insulation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp after light rain
Ensure the water-repellent finish is maintained. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary after washing, following product instructions. Allow jacket to air dry thoroughly.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. If the zipper still sticks, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth.
Lost loft/insulation seems reduced
Synthetic insulation can sometimes clump after washing. Tumble dry on a low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute and restore the loft.
