Full details

FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
As a shell jacket, it is not insulated. It is designed to block wind and rain, so you should wear a warm base or mid-layer underneath for winter conditions.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend following the garment care label and using a mild detergent.
What does the 'shell' classification mean?
A shell jacket acts as an outer barrier against the environment. It is lightweight and designed to be worn over other clothing.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the polyester construction provides a balance of wind protection and breathability suitable for active outdoor use.
Does it come with a hood?
The Ponsa design features protective elements to shield the wearer from the elements; please refer to your specific model's hood configuration.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating may have worn off; apply a technical water-repellent spray to the outer shell.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Ensure all detergent is fully rinsed out and avoid using fabric softeners, which can damage waterproof membranes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a shell jacket, it is highly compatible with various mid-layers like down vests or synthetic fleeces. To maintain the integrity of the waterproofing, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent to avoid clogging the fabric's pores.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low-heat setting if directed by the internal label.
- Reproofing: Over time, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water stop beading on the surface.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup in the closet.
