Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a jacket is truly waterproof vs. water-resistant?
Waterproof jackets prevent water penetration entirely and often have sealed seams, while water-resistant jackets repel light moisture but may not handle heavy rain. Check product descriptions for specific ratings - waterproof jackets typically mention technical standards, while water-resistant ones may only mention coatings or treatments.
What's the difference between a shell jacket and an insulated jacket?
Shell jackets provide weather protection without built-in insulation, allowing you to layer underneath based on conditions. Insulated jackets have built-in warmth but offer less flexibility for temperature changes. Shells work better across seasons, while insulated jackets provide immediate warmth in cold conditions.
How should an entry-level jacket fit?
You should be able to move your arms freely and wear a sweater or fleece underneath without feeling restricted. The jacket shouldn't be so loose that it flaps in wind, but tight enough that you can zip it comfortably over typical layering pieces.
Do I need special care instructions for these jackets?
Most entry-level jackets can be machine washed, but check labels carefully. Avoid fabric softeners which can reduce water-repelling treatments. Some jackets benefit from periodic retreatment with water-repelling sprays, especially after multiple washes or extended use.
