FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy downpours?
The jacket is designed for unpredictable weather and offers waterproof protection. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, its performance might be best supplemented with additional layers or a jacket with a higher waterproof rating.
How do I know if I've chosen the correct size?
Refer to the Animal sizing guide available on the product page or brand website. It is recommended to measure your chest and waist and compare these measurements to the provided chart.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection. For cold weather, it functions best as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers like fleece or down to provide warmth.
What does a breathability rating of 2000 mean?
A breathability rating of 2000 (often measured in g/m²/24hr) indicates that the fabric allows approximately 2000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period. This is considered moderately breathable, suitable for general outdoor activities.
How do I make the jacket waterproof again if it's not working?
You can restore its water repellency by cleaning the jacket and then applying a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment. These are available as spray-on or wash-in products specifically designed for outdoor gear.
What is the primary material of the jacket?
The primary material is polyester, which provides good water resistance and durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-proofing treatment, such as a wash-in or spray-on product designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure the jacket is completely dry after application.
Feeling clammy or damp inside, despite no rain.
This could be due to the breathability limit being reached during high exertion, or the internal membrane becoming blocked. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. For intense activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
