FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the 3L construction?
The 3L (three-layer) construction provides excellent waterproof protection from external rain while remaining breathable, allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain protection. While its regular fit allows for layering, it is not insulated for extreme cold. For very cold weather, you would need to add significant insulating layers underneath.
How do I adjust the hood?
The jacket features a fixed hood, which typically does not have adjustability features like drawcords unless specified. The design relies on its shape and the high collar for protection.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
What does 'Regular fit' mean for this jacket?
Regular fit means the jacket is cut in a standard, comfortable shape that is neither too tight nor too loose. It allows for ease of movement and the option to wear layers underneath.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
Reapply the DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up and rolling off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket has side pockets. While the jacket's main fabric is waterproof, the pockets themselves may not be fully waterproof. They are generally suitable for keeping hands warm or storing items that are not sensitive to moisture for short periods.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap to remove any dirt or salt residue. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Seams are leaking
Check if the jacket requires seam sealing. For severe leaks, professional repair may be necessary. Ensure the jacket has been cared for correctly as per instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Consider re-applying a DWR treatment, as breathability is often linked to the outer DWR finish.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the fabric's protective membrane.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions. This typically involves washing the garment with the treatment or spraying it on after washing and drying.
