FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of the outer jacket?
The outer jacket has a waterproof rating of 2000mm, suitable for moderate rain.
Can the fleece inner be worn on its own?
Yes, the fleece inner is designed to be a standalone jacket and can be worn separately when conditions do not require the waterproof outer shell.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash with a mild detergent on a cool cycle, and reapply a DWR finish periodically. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is detachable and features a drawcord for adjustability, allowing you to customize the fit.
What types of pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket includes a chest pocket, two side pockets, and a concealed zip pocket for secure storage.
What material is the jacket made from?
The outer jacket is made from Polyester, and the inner fleece is also typically polyester-based.
How do the inner and outer jackets connect?
The inner fleece connects to the outer jacket via zippers along the front opening, and usually at the cuffs and collar, to form a single garment.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the jacket.
Check if all seams are properly taped. Ensure the main zipper is fully closed and the stormflap is secured. If leakage persists, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reapplied, or the fabric itself may require repair.
Fleece inner is difficult to attach/detach.
Ensure the zippers on both layers are aligned correctly. Check for any snags or debris in the zipper teeth. Gently guide the zippers to avoid forcing them.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.
Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath, which can trap moisture. Make sure vents (if present) are open. Wash the jacket with a technical wash to restore breathability, as residues from detergents can impede performance.
Zipper is stuck.
Inspect the zipper for any fabric caught in the teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. Use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth if they are stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This jacket is designed for immediate use. The primary setup involves attaching or detaching the inner fleece layer to the outer shell. The inner fleece typically fastens to the outer jacket via zippers and sometimes stud or button closures at the cuffs and neck. Ensure all fastenings are secure before wearing.
Compatibility:
This is a standalone 3-in-1 jacket system. The inner fleece is specifically designed to integrate with the outer shell of the Mountain Warehouse Thunderstorm jacket. It is not designed for compatibility with other brands or models.
Care:
- Washing: Machine wash the jacket and fleece separately according to the care label. Typically, this involves a cool wash cycle (e.g., 30°C or 40°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-Waterproofing: For optimal performance, consider re-applying a water-repellent finish periodically, especially after numerous washes. Use a specific product suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics.
