Product Information

Full details

This Jack Wolfskin Waterproof Hooded Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor adventures and everyday wear. Its key benefit is the combination of breathability and waterproofness provided by the Texapore membrane, keeping you dry and comfortable. A potential consideration is that its plain design, while versatile, may not appeal to those seeking highly distinctive styles. Key features include its waterproof and breathable fabric, full-length zip, and hooded design, making it a practical choice for varying weather conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

While the jacket offers excellent protection from wind and rain, it is primarily designed as a waterproof and breathable shell. For extreme cold, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

How do I determine the right size?

Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Generally, measure your chest and waist circumference and compare it with the provided guide. The jacket is designed for a comfortable fit, allowing for layers underneath.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity sports?

Yes, the jacket's breathable Texapore membrane is designed to handle moderate to high activity levels by allowing moisture vapor to escape.

What does the 'water column' rating mean?

A water column of 10,000 mm indicates the jacket can withstand a hydrostatic pressure equivalent to 10,000 mm of water, signifying a good level of waterproofing for most outdoor activities.

How often should I reapply DWR treatment?

The need for reapplication varies with use. Generally, if water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment.

Is the hood adjustable?

While not explicitly detailed, most hooded jackets of this type feature drawcords or adjustments at the hood opening to customize the fit and coverage.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, despite no external rain.

This could indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket's care instructions have been followed, particularly regarding the use of appropriate detergents and avoiding fabric softeners. Check that ventilation zippers (if present) are open during activity.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof-technical clothing after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a bit of graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Its primary compatibility is with outdoor activities and casual wear. For care, the jacket is machine washable. It is recommended to wash it at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle, ideally with a special wash for waterproof outerwear to maintain the membrane's performance. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the material and its waterproof properties. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Do not iron.
