FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but ensure you use a technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the waterproof coatings.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the jacket features a grown-on hood designed to provide full head protection.

What does EN343 Class 3.3 mean?

It is a European standard for protective clothing, where 3.3 indicates the highest level of protection against both water penetration and water vapor resistance (breathability).

Is the jacket fully waterproof or just water-resistant?

It is fully waterproof, featuring a 10000mm hydrostatic head rating, making it suitable for significant exposure to rain.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

The jacket acts as a waterproof shell. It is windproof and offers excellent protection from the elements, but it should be layered over insulating garments for warmth in extreme cold.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a DWR re-proofer to restore water repellency.

Condensation building up inside

Ensure the ventilation options are utilized, such as adjusting the main zipper or cuffs to allow airflow during high-exertion activities.

Stiff or sticky zipper

Check for debris or dirt in the zipper track. Clean with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High 10000mm waterproof rating
  • Ample storage with six specialized pockets
  • Durable polyester build suitable for rugged use
  • Adjustable fit for enhanced weather protection
  • Certified EN343 Class 3.3 safety compliance

  • Heavier than minimalist windbreaker layers
  • Less breathable during high-intensity aerobic activities
  • Limited to specific color options

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's technical performance, adhere to these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Use a mild, technical-grade laundry detergent. Avoid standard laundry powders and fabric softeners, as they can strip the EcoShield DWR finish.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If using a tumble dryer, use a low heat setting to help re-activate the water-repellent finish.
  3. Re-treatment: Periodically apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to maintain the beading effect of the outer fabric once water starts to soak into the material.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the jacket tightly in a bag for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the seams.
