FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Stormy Point 2L JKT?

The primary purpose is to provide waterproof and windproof protection while remaining breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for various outdoor activities.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a shell jacket designed for weather protection. For very cold conditions, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down jackets) is recommended.

How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?

If water no longer beads up on the surface and instead soaks into the fabric, it's time to re-waterproof. You may also notice a decrease in breathability.

Can I wear this jacket for sports like running?

Yes, the jacket's breathability and lightweight design make it suitable for activities like running, though for high-intensity sports, consider adding additional ventilation if needed.

What does '2L' in the product name mean?

'2L' refers to a 2-layer construction, a common method for waterproof-breathable fabrics that offers a good balance of protection, durability, and comfort.

How often should I wash this jacket?

Wash the jacket only when necessary, typically when it is visibly dirty or its performance (water repellency, breathability) is compromised. Overwashing can degrade the DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a specialized technical wash and tumble dry on low heat, or apply a re-waterproofing treatment as per product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy or is not breathable

Ensure all vents are open if present. Check for blockages in the fabric pores by washing the jacket with a technical cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (gentle cycle). Use a special detergent for weatherproof outer clothing (e.g., Nikwax Tech Wash or similar).
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. Do not use fabric softener.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. If tumble drying, add a few clean tennis balls to help restore the water-repellent finish.
  4. Re-proofing: For enhanced water repellency, apply a re-waterproofer (e.g., Nikwax TX.Direct) after washing, following the product's instructions. This can typically be done in the washing machine or applied by spraying.
