FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant thanks to a DWR finish, which sheds light moisture, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall.
Can I layer clothing under this jacket?
Yes, the Nuketo is designed with a relaxed fit specifically to accommodate layering with sweaters or thermal base layers.
How should I wash the jacket?
Wash it in a machine on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Is the hood adjustable?
The Nuketo features a stand collar design rather than a hood, providing a sleek profile and excellent neck coverage.
Does it have internal pockets?
The jacket features multiple secure zipped pockets, though the exact configuration may vary by production batch; please check the internal and external panels of your specific unit.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the jacket and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray treatment.
Zipper sticking or not moving smoothly
Check for debris or fabric caught in the track, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or run a pencil graphite over the teeth to reduce friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nuketo jacket, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting to help restore the loft of the synthetic insulation.
- Re-treating: If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, use a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment designed for synthetic outdoor gear.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the shape of the insulation.
