FAQs
Is this jacket completely waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is described as water-resistant, meaning it effectively protects against moisture and light to moderate rain. For prolonged or heavy downpours, additional gear might be necessary.
What is the best way to wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for protection against the elements like rain. It does not provide significant insulation. For cold weather, layering underneath is recommended.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and care. Typically, a reapplication is needed when you notice water is no longer beading up on the surface after washing and drying.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for outdoor activities such as running, trekking, cycling, and everyday urban commuting or walks, especially in variable weather conditions.
Does the jacket have a hood?
The product description does not specify if this particular model has a hood, but similar ESS jackets often do. Please check product images or specifications if a hood is essential for your needs.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Consider washing the jacket and then applying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Ensure the garment is clean and free of dirt or residue that can block pores. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any debris. You can then apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; simply wear it. It is compatible with most athletic and casual wear. To maintain its water-resistant properties and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores and reduce breathability and water resistance.

- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Follow the product instructions for the re-waterproofing agent.
