FAQs
What does 'Triclimate' mean?
Triclimate refers to the jacket's 3-in-1 system, meaning it can be worn as a waterproof shell, an insulated inner jacket, or both combined for maximum protection.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or iron.
Is the jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for versatility and can be adapted for colder conditions by using both the waterproof outer shell and the insulated inner layer. For extreme cold, layering underneath may be necessary.
What is the main benefit of the high collar?
The high collar, combined with the toggle hood, offers enhanced protection against wind and rain, helping to keep your neck and face warmer and drier.
Can I wear the inner jacket separately?
Yes, the inner jacket is designed to be worn as a standalone piece of outerwear during milder conditions.
What material is the jacket made of?
The product description indicates it is made of Polyester and Nylon, offering durability and water-resistance.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproof properties?
To maintain waterproofing, clean the jacket regularly and consider reapplying a DWR finish periodically, especially if you notice water no longer beads up on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move it back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and consider reapplying a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Inner layer not attaching correctly
Ensure the zippers or snaps on both layers are aligned properly. Check for any debris or damage to the attachment points.
Jacket feels restrictive
Verify that you are using the correct size. Ensure the inner layer is not too bulky and that the outer shell is not zipped too tightly. Adjust the toggle hood and high collar for a more comfortable fit.
