FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter conditions?
The jacket provides excellent waterproof protection but is lightweight. It is best used as a shell over thermal layers during winter.
How do I adjust the hood?
Use the integrated drawstring located at the high-neck hood to tighten or loosen the fit according to weather conditions.
Can I machine wash the Suva Hardshell?
Yes, follow the specific care instructions on the garment label, typically using a cold or gentle cycle without fabric softeners.
Is the jacket breathable?
The 3L fabric is engineered to be lightweight and functional for active commuters, providing a balance between weatherproofing and comfort.
What does the 3L in the description mean?
It stands for three-layer construction, which bonds an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and an inner lining into a single, durable fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to seep through the seams
Ensure that the jacket is clean and free of dirt, as buildup can affect the water-repellent properties of the taped seams.
Zip feels stiff or sticks during operation
Clear any debris or grit from the zip track and ensure the fabric is not caught in the teeth of the waterproof closure.
Pros and Cons

- High-performance waterproof construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. As a hardshell garment, it should be wiped clean with a damp cloth to maintain the integrity of the waterproof coating. If a deeper clean is required, consult the care label for machine wash instructions, ensuring the use of a gentle cycle and avoiding softeners. The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit, so stick to your standard size for the intended silhouette, or size down if you prefer a tighter fit. Store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing of the 3L fabric.
