FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed with Isotex 15000 technology and taped seams, providing high-level protection against rain and wind.
Can I wash the jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical gear cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners.
Does the hood detach?
No, the jacket features a grown-on (fixed) hood with toggle adjusters for a secure fit.
Is this jacket suitable for winter use?
It is an excellent outer shell, but because it is a shell, you will need to add insulating layers underneath for cold-weather comfort.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
The pockets are equipped with water-repellent zips, which provide significant protection for your belongings, though they should not be submerged.
What is the best way to restore the waterproof finish?
Regular cleaning is key, followed by the application of a DWR-restoring spray once the factory finish begins to degrade.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading up
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a high-quality DWR re-proofing spray.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris and apply a dedicated silicone-free zipper lubricant if necessary.
Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof
This is often caused by condensation buildup during heavy activity; ensure the adjustable cuffs and hem are set correctly to allow for ventilation, or remove excess base layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adjust the hood toggles and shockcord hem before heading out to create a seal against wind. When cleaning, close all zippers, including the chest and security pockets, to protect the water-repellent coatings. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability pores of the membrane. Periodically check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish; if water stops beading on the surface, use a re-proofing spray specifically formulated for waterproof-breathable fabrics to restore the outer shell performance.
