FAQs
What makes the DrySeal Technology collar effective?
The DrySeal Technology collar features a dual-layer system. The inner layer has a cinch cord to create a snug seal around the neck, while the outer layer includes drainage holes that direct water away, preventing it from running down your back.
Is this jacket suitable for non-golf activities?
While designed for golf, its waterproof and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities in wet weather. However, its specific cut and features are optimized for golf.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the jacket and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment. This is typically needed after multiple washes or extensive use.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
FootJoy offers a 3-year waterproof guarantee on the Hydrotour Waterproof Golf Rain Jacket, covering manufacturing defects related to its waterproof integrity.
Can I wear a thick sweater under this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed with room for layering. The 4-way stretch fabric ensures comfort even when worn over a thicker golf sweater or mid-layer.
What are the specific waterproof and breathability ratings?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 20,000 mm and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/sqm.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Follow care instructions to clean the jacket and then apply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Venting zippers are hard to open/close.
Check the under-arm vents for any fabric or debris obstruction. Clean the zippers as described for the main zipper if they are stiff.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.
Ensure the under-arm zip vents are open to improve airflow. Check that the internal garment being worn is also breathable. Clean the jacket as per care instructions, as dirt and oils can impede breathability.
