FAQs

Is the jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it features a 10K waterproof rating and taped seams, providing reliable protection against standard rain showers.

Can I wear this for mountain biking?

While designed for commuting, its durable polyester construction and breathability make it suitable for general trail riding as well.

Does the reflective print wear off?

The tonal reflective print is integrated into the fabric design, but it should be washed inside out to maintain its longevity.

What is the fit of the jacket?

It is designed with a relaxed fit, allowing for comfortable movement and room for additional clothing layers.

How should I clean the jacket?

Use a gentle machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius with technical outdoor apparel detergent, and never use bleach or fabric conditioner.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no rain

This is likely sweat build-up. Ensure you are using the underarm vents and wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 10K/5K waterproof and breathable fabric
  • Modern, casual aesthetic suitable for office settings
  • Enhanced visibility with tonal reflective detailing
  • Effective ventilation for active comfort
  • Ample storage with secure zipped pockets

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme cold without layering

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow these care instructions:

  1. Washing: Use a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the breathability pores.
  2. Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Tumble drying on a very low heat setting may be used occasionally to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before packing it away to prevent mildew.
  4. Compatibility: The relaxed fit allows for base layers or light fleeces underneath, making it compatible with varying seasonal temperatures.
