How do I clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and fabric softeners.

Can I wear this jacket if I'm allergic to polyester?

The jacket is primarily made from Polyester (62%) and Recycled Polyester (38%). If you have a known allergy to polyester, this jacket may not be suitable for you.

How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

The jacket features an adjustable waist drawcord, adjustable cuffs with press studs, and a grown-on hood with adjusters. You can tighten or loosen these features to achieve your desired fit.

Does the floral pattern cover the entire jacket?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Water is leaking through the seams.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a pencil graphite to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.

Jacket feels clammy inside, even when not raining heavily.

This could be due to insufficient ventilation or perspiration build-up. Ensure the hood and cuffs are not overly tightened and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
