FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, it is a shell jacket designed for protection against rain and wind, not for warmth. Layering underneath is recommended for cold weather.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Locate the designated pocket—usually the hand pocket—and invert it to stuff the rest of the jacket inside, closing the zipper to secure it.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Generally, it is recommended to tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the water-repellent finish, but always check the specific care tag on your garment first.
Is it completely waterproof?
It uses waterproof technology designed to keep you dry in rain and wet weather, though it is not a specialized submersion-proof garment.
What does Omni-Shield mean?
Omni-Shield is a protective coating on the fabric that resists the absorption of liquids, helping you stay dry and clean.
Does this jacket have a hood?
Yes, it features an integrated hood to provide head protection against rain and wind.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing; wash the jacket and apply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Check for debris or fabric caught in the track; clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repelling properties of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions, typically involving machine washing on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof finish. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging. For storage, always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its pocket to prevent mildew or odor build-up. The jacket is designed to fit over standard clothing sizes, but if you intend to wear heavy insulating layers underneath, consider how the specific sizing affects your range of motion.
