FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter?

The RRD Surflex Hood Jkt is designed as a mid-season jacket. It offers protection against wind and light moisture but may not provide sufficient insulation for very cold winter conditions. Layering with warmer clothing underneath is recommended for colder weather.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble drying on high heat. Air drying is recommended.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is fixed and adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against the elements.

What material is the jacket made of?

The external fabric is 80% polyamide and 20% elastane, featuring a Stratofabric membrane. The internal lining is 100% polyamide, and the internal fabric is 91% polyester and 9% elastane.

Can I iron this jacket?

The jacket is marketed as non-iron. If absolutely necessary, use a very low heat setting and exercise caution, especially around logos and taped seams.

What is the benefit of the thermo-taped side pockets?

Thermo-taping helps to seal the seams of the pockets, offering enhanced protection against light moisture and preventing wind from entering, keeping your hands warmer and items inside drier.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight or restrictive.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The stretch membrane is designed for fit; if it consistently feels too tight, consider if the sizing is correct for your intended use and layering.

Pockets do not seem water-resistant.

The thermo-taped pockets offer protection against light moisture or splashes. They are not designed for submersion in heavy rain. Ensure zippers are fully closed.

Fabric appears to be pilling or snagged.

Avoid contact with rough surfaces that could snag the fabric. If minor pilling occurs, it can often be carefully removed with a fabric shaver, but be cautious not to damage the membrane.
