FAQs

What is Pertex Shield 2.5L?

Pertex Shield 2.5L is a waterproof, breathable fabric designed to offer protection from the elements while remaining lightweight and packable.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

Is the jacket suitable for winter use?

The jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. For winter use, it's best paired with appropriate insulating layers.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

This jacket is ideal for hiking, climbing, and other outdoor activities where weather protection and breathability are essential.

What is the benefit of the articulated sleeves?

Articulated sleeves enhance freedom of movement, allowing for a full range of arm motion during activities like climbing and hiking.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

Re-proof the jacket with a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment when water no longer beads up on the surface.

What type of zippers does the jacket use?

The jacket uses YKK Aquaguard zippers, which are water-resistant and provide added protection from the elements.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the jacket.

Check if the DWR treatment has worn off and reapply. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Tighten the hood adjustments to secure it properly. Ensure the peak is positioned correctly.

Condensation builds up inside the jacket.

Utilize the pit zips for ventilation to release excess heat and moisture.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and lubricate them if necessary.

The jacket feels too tight or loose.

Adjust layering to accommodate fit. Ensure you've selected the correct size.
