FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the Carlotte jacket has a water-repellent finish, which means it can withstand light rain or splashes but is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket is recommended.
What type of insulation does it use?
It uses synthetic 'down-touch' insulation, designed to provide warmth without the bulk of traditional down.
Can I wear this in very cold winter weather?
It's suitable for mild to cool conditions and can be layered for extra warmth. For extreme cold, additional thermal layers underneath would be necessary.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash inside out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent at 30-40°C. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
Does it have internal pockets?
Yes, it features one internal security pocket for valuables and two lower zipped pockets on the exterior.
What is the main material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from lightweight 20D polyamide fabric, weighing 37gsm.
How do I maintain the water-repellent finish?
To maintain the finish, avoid fabric softeners during washing and consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor clothing after several washes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses water-repellency
Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray designed for technical outerwear after washing. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Insulation feels clumpy after washing
Ensure the jacket is properly dried. Tumble drying on a low heat with clean tennis balls can help redistribute the insulation. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specific zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels less warm than before
The insulation may have compacted over time. Check care label for washing instructions and consider a gentle tumble dry on low heat to fluff the insulation. For significant loss of warmth, re-proofing might help restore loft.
