FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10000mm, meaning it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

The jacket provides thermal and insulating properties due to its hollow fibre filling, making it suitable for cooler weather. For extreme cold, layering may be necessary.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

What does EcoShield refer to?

EcoShield is a fabric treatment that provides an additional layer of water and stain repellency, helping to keep the jacket cleaner and drier.

Are there any internal pockets?

The jacket features two zipped side handwarmer pockets, a map pocket, and a mobile phone pocket. These are external or integrated into the side seam.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is described as 'concealed' and 'grown on,' implying it is attached and can be stored away rather than fully detached.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs, indicating its ability to allow water vapor to pass through the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Clean the jacket thoroughly to remove dirt and oils. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a wax-based product or graphite from a pencil.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Ensure the hollow fibre filling is not compressed. Check for any damage to the outer fabric or seams that might allow heat to escape.

Inner lining feels clammy

This may indicate the breathability is being overwhelmed. Ensure all vents or openings are clear and that you are not wearing excessive insulating layers underneath that are trapping moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for varied weather conditions.
  • Lightweight yet highly insulating, ideal for cooler temperatures.
  • Multiple practical pockets for storage of essentials.
  • Constructed from recycled materials, offering an eco-conscious choice.
  • Reflective detailing enhances visibility in low-light situations.

Cons

  • Limited colour options (grey and black) might not appeal to everyone.
  • The plain design with logo detailing is a specific aesthetic choice.
  • Specific sizing (XS) is listed, availability of other sizes may vary.
  • While waterproof, extreme downpours might test the limits of the 10000mm rating.
  • Care instructions may require specific washing methods to maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires no complex setup. It is designed for immediate use. Compatibility is primarily with adult male sizing, though similar models may be available in unisex options.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity, adhere to the following care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Avoid ironing.
  4. Re-Waterproofing: Periodically, especially after several washes, you may wish to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric to restore its water-repellent properties. Follow the instructions on the re-waterproofing product.
