FAQs

What does 'shower proof' mean?

Shower proof means the jacket is treated to repel light rain and drizzles, offering protection in short, light showers. It is not fully waterproof and will not keep you dry in heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to rain.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean. Turning the jacket inside out can help protect the embroidered patch.

Is the mesh lining removable?

No, the mesh lining is sewn into the jacket and is not designed to be removed. It's an integral part of the jacket's design for breathability and comfort.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

This is a lightweight jacket designed for mild to cool temperatures and light rain. It does not provide significant insulation for very cold weather. For colder conditions, it is best used as a shell over insulating layers.

How accurate are the size measurements provided?

The provided width measurements (e.g., 74cm for 2XL) refer to the jacket laid flat. It's recommended to compare these dimensions to a jacket you already own that fits you well, measuring it similarly for the most accurate comparison.

Does the jacket have any internal pockets?

The product description does not specify internal pockets. Typically, lightweight jackets of this style focus on external storage. Info needed: [Confirm presence/absence of internal pockets if available in product specifications].

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight or loose.

Ensure you have the correct size. Compare the jacket's width measurement (74cm for XXL) to a well-fitting jacket you already own. Sizing can vary between brands.

Water resistance seems to be reduced.

Dirt and residues can impact the shower-proof coating. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. If issues persist, consider using a fabric-specific DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for nylon outerwear, though this is not explicitly part of the product's listed features.

Zipper gets stuck or snags.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of zipper lubricant or even pencil graphite can help smooth the movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Jacket loses its shape after washing.

Strictly follow the care instructions: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang dry. High heat or harsh washing can affect the nylon's structure.

Compatibility

  • Age Group: Designed for adults.
  • Gender: Suitable for males.
  • Sizing: This specific variant is size `XXL`. Please refer to the width measurements for a precise fit: `74cm Width` for 2XL. Compare this to a well-fitting garment you own for optimal sizing.

Care Instructions

Proper care will prolong the life and performance of your Lyle & Scott Hooded Jacket, especially its shower-proof properties. As it is 100% Nylon, follow these guidelines:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the fabric's water-repellent finish.
  • Bleaching: Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or, preferably, hang dry. High heat can damage the nylon fibers and any water-resistant coating.
  • Ironing: Do not iron. If wrinkles occur, try steaming on a low setting or hanging the jacket in a steamy bathroom.
  • Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  • Special Note: For the embroidered patch, turn the jacket inside out before washing to protect the emblem.
