FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Extol Stretch panels?
The Extol Stretch panels are designed to provide enhanced flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing the jacket to adapt to your body's motion during active pursuits.
How waterproof is this jacket?
The jacket features a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, which provides protection against light rain and snow. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and is best suited for wet weather conditions where heavy downpours are not expected.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation for its weight. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer it over a warm base layer and potentially a fleece mid-layer for optimal warmth.
How do I find the right size?
Please refer to the 'Size Guide' section in the product description, which provides UK sizing with corresponding chest measurements. Measure your chest and compare it to the guide for the best fit.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme sports?
While the jacket offers excellent mobility and comfort for activities like hiking and climbing, it may not provide the necessary waterproofing or extreme insulation required for highly demanding or extreme weather sports.
How does the 'Down-Touch' insulation differ from real down?
Down-touch insulation mimics the warmth and loft of natural down but is typically made from synthetic fibers. It offers good insulation, especially when wet, and is often more durable and easier to care for than real down.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
'Grown On Hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the jacket, rather than being detachable or added separately. It's designed to be an integral part of the jacket's structure.
Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper while wiggling it. If still stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a tiny bit of wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Reduced water repellency after washing.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-proof the jacket using a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the DWR finish and insulation are intact. For colder conditions, consider adding a warmer base layer or mid-layer underneath. Check that the hem and cuffs are sealed to prevent drafts.
Pilling or fuzziness on the fabric.
This can occur with synthetic fabrics. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills. Avoid harsh washing or excessive rubbing.
