FAQs
Is this coat machine washable?
Yes, but it should be washed on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent to protect the waterproof finish.
Can I remove the hood completely?
Yes, the hood is designed to be detachable, allowing you to switch between a hooded or collar-only look.
Does the coat provide enough warmth for winter?
The combination of fleece and quilted lining offers significant insulation, making it suitable for most winter weather, though layering is recommended for extreme cold.
How do I adjust the waist?
There is a discrete internal draw cord located at the waist; simply pull and secure the toggles to achieve your preferred fit.
Are the pockets large enough for a smartphone?
Yes, the two main pockets are designed to be spacious and include stud closures to ensure items like phones or keys remain secure.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated; tumble dry the coat on a low heat setting or apply a re-proofing spray designed for technical outdoor gear.
Hood keeps detaching or feels loose
Check all snap fasteners for trapped debris or grit. Clean the snaps with a soft brush and ensure the hood is correctly aligned with the mounting points on the collar.
The zip feels stiff or catches
Clear any fabric or loose threads from the zip track and consider using a dry silicone-based lubricant to help the slider glide smoothly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your coat, it is essential to follow specific care protocols. Always check the internal garment label before washing, but generally, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent suitable for waterproof clothing. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof coating.
If the coat is muddy, allow the mud to dry completely and gently brush it off before attempting to clean the fabric with a damp cloth. Store the coat on a sturdy, wide-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape, especially since the longer length and quilted lining can add weight. When using the detachable hood, ensure the fasteners are properly aligned before snapping them into place to prevent wear on the attachment loops.
