Is the hood detachable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and also helmet-compatible, offering versatility and safety.

How do I ensure the jacket remains water-repellent?

To maintain water repellency, always tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting after washing. This reactivates the treatment. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning.

What kind of pockets are included?

It features YKK zippered pockets, a chest pocket, a Napoleon pocket (accessible without unzipping), and hand pockets with a comfortable brushed lining.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The shell is 100% Polyester, the lining is 100% Polyamide, and the insulation in both sleeves and body is 100% Polyester (Recycled).

How many times should I wash this jacket?

The care label suggests a maximum of 20 washes for optimal performance. It's important to follow the specific care instructions for each wash.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as water-repellent as before.

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This reactivates the water-repellent treatment. Ensure you are using liquid detergent and not fabric softener.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Make sure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Hood does not fit securely.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal drawcords on the hood to achieve a snug fit. Ensure it is properly positioned over or around your helmet if applicable.

Reduced comfort or mobility.

Verify that the jacket size is correct. The articulated sleeves and design should allow for ample movement. Check that internal drawcords or other adjustments are not hindering movement.
