FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 30,000mm, which indicates a very high level of protection against water.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer with insulating clothing underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash inside out with a mild detergent at 30°C. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.
What does the breathability rating mean?
A breathability rating of 30,000g/m2/24h means the jacket allows a significant amount of moisture vapor to escape, helping to keep you dry from the inside during physical activity.
Can this jacket be used for general everyday wear?
While functional for everyday use, its streamlined design and focus on active pursuits mean it may be best suited for active commutes or outdoor activities rather than purely casual wear.
How should I care for the waterproofing over time?
To maintain the waterproofing, it is recommended to periodically re-apply a DWR treatment, especially after washing or significant wear.
What materials are used in the jacket?
The main fabric and taffeta are made from 100% recycled polyester, with a TPU membrane. The mesh lining is 100% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof after use
The water-repellent finish may need refreshing. Apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following product instructions. Ensure all zips are fully closed.
Reduced breathability
Check for blockages in the fabric or membrane. Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Heavy soiling can impede breathability.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
Fit feels too tight for layering
Consider layering with thinner base and mid-layers. For more generous layering space, explore larger sizes or styles with a more relaxed fit.
