Does Cortazu prepare you for the elements?
Good question! At Cortazu we pride ourselves in preparing you for the elements of adventure. Our products are built to withstand many elements but this also depends on the type of jacket.
All of our Shell Jackets are made with Dermizax®EV. This fabric is 100% waterproof and windproof while remaining breathable under active conditions.
Depending on the adventure you are going to face one of our jackets will be a better choice than the other.
How ‘Green’ is Cortazu?
At Cortazu we are happy to state that we are a sustainable brand that tries to limit the effects of the fashion industry on the planet. Aside from being a Gold Winner of the ISPO Award for most sustainable brand in 2019, being a B-Corp, and using recycled materials for our products we have partnered up with Justdiggit and started to cool down the planet. For every jacket sold, we re-green 100 square meters of land on Africa.
You can read more about our efforts to give back to the planet here at our sustainability page.
Product care for my jacket?
To read up about how to care for your jacket, visit our TLC page.
What is DWR and which DWR can I use?
Durable Water Repellant (DWR) coating is added to the fabric to make it more water-resistant. Almost all high-quality and technical outdoor jackets apply this coating to their jackets.
Our product also receives a DWR coating to improve its waterproofness and prevent the garment from wetting out. This improves both waterproofness and breathability.
You can get a DWR at your local outdoor gear store or online. We personally recommend Nikwax.
2. ORDER
I have not received an order confirmation after payment?
There could be a few reasons for this:
1. Your order is still being processed
2. The confirmation got delivered to your spam-folder
3. Your email was misspelled (spelling is important ;) )
If you have not received a confirmation within 24 hours, please tell us at support@cortazu.com and we will help you out.
When will my order arrive?
All products that are in stock will be packed and shipped within 1-2 working days. Orders placed during weekends will be packed and shipped on the following Monday. It depends on the shipping destination, but we intend to deliver all orders within 1-12 working days.
At times, unforeseen delays may happen, but we promise we’ll do our best to make sure you get your new gear in the timeliest manner possible. If you have any questions about the delivery schedule just send an email to support@cortazu.com
I need to change my order/shipping details
Once you placed an order our fulfilment partner will ship your order as soon as possible. Due to this process, we are unable to change the details of orders made on our system once they have gone through the shipping process.
Once you get your shipping confirmation, you may be able to contact the shipping provider and arrange for delivery to a different address.
You can also wait for a missed delivery and pick it up from a customer pick up point or we can re-ship it after it is sent back to us.
Can I add items to an existing order?
Unfortunately, we're unable to make any changes to an existing order. If you wish to add certain products, you'll have to place a new order. We can't remove the shipping costs despite the order being placed the same day as our warehouse has set policies.
Discount codes, gifts and sets (e.g. free products, promotions)
1. Can I use multiple discount codes or stack gifts? No, it's not possible to stack discounts and/or gifts. This means customers can not apply a discount code on top of a set deal or free product that's given during a (limited-time) promotion. Only one discount at a time can apply to a single order.
2. Returns: If you wish to return your order for a refund, the free item has to be returned too. In case you wish to keep it, we will deduct the price of the item from your total refund amount.
Can I cancel my order?
Need to cancel an order? We are sad to hear this but let us know if you need any more information on our products or if there's anything we can do to help?
We make it a priority to make sure we process orders quickly to make sure you get your products on time. Because of this, we cannot change webshop orders once they have been packed and shipped.
When you receive your order confirmation, you can write to us at support@cortazu.com. Once you receive the package, you can process it as a return and once we receive it back we can issue you a (full) refund.
