Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof or water-resistant?
The HydroTour jacket features a Storm Proven 3-Layer Fabric with a 20,000 mm waterproof rating, making it genuinely waterproof, not just water-resistant. It is seam-sealed for complete protection.
How does the DrySeal Technology collar work?
It's a double collar system. The inner layer has a cinch cord to create a snug fit, and the outer layer has drainage holes to direct water away, preventing it from running down your neck.
Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?
While designed for adverse conditions, the jacket's breathability and underarm venting allow it to be worn in milder temperatures if necessary. However, it is optimized for cooler, wet conditions.
What is the warranty on this jacket?
The Footjoy HydroTour Golf Jacket comes with a 3-year waterproof guarantee.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent, rinse twice, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and stain removers.
Does the fabric stretch?
Yes, the jacket is constructed with 4-way stretch fabric, allowing for complete freedom of movement during your golf swing.
What does the 15,000 g/sqm rating refer to?
This rating refers to the jacket's breathability. It measures how much water vapor can pass through the fabric over a 24-hour period per square meter. A higher number indicates better breathability.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried correctly. If the issue persists after proper care, and within the warranty period, contact customer support regarding the 3-year waterproof guarantee.
Jacket feels less waterproof or water is not beading.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Vents are not opening or closing smoothly.
Check the zippers for any debris or lint that may be obstructing them. Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and try again. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the inner garment is also moisture-wicking. Clean the jacket to remove any build-up of body oils or detergent residue that could be blocking the membrane. Ensure underarm vents are open as needed.
