Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter hiking?

Yes, it provides a solid waterproof shell, but it is not insulated. It is best used as an outer layer over a fleece or base layer depending on the temperature.

How should I wash the Birchdale II?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is a permanent, technical-style design intended to be worn for maximum weather protection.

Is the fit true to size?

The jacket features a regular fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider this when selecting your size.

Can I iron the jacket?

It is generally recommended to avoid ironing as high heat can damage the waterproof coating and synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading off

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

Zips becoming stiff or difficult to operate

Clear any trapped fabric or grit from the zipper teeth and, if necessary, apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for technical zips.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent 15,000mm waterproof protection
Breathable fabric prevents overheating during physical activity
Articulated sleeves provide great freedom of movement
Durable polyester construction built for rugged mountain terrain
Fully taped seams for maximum water resistance

Cons

Specifically performance-oriented design may not suit casual daily wear
Requires proper care to maintain waterproofing treatments over time
Limited to the regular fit profile which may not accommodate all layering systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Birchdale II, it is essential to follow proper maintenance routines. Keep the front zip and pocket zips clear of debris and mud to ensure smooth operation. When washing, use a technical cleaner designed for waterproof garments rather than standard household detergents, which can strip the water-repellent coating. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the waterproof membrane. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew buildup in the seams.
