FAQs

What is the 5,000 mm waterproofing rating?

A 5,000 mm rating means the fabric can withstand 5,000 millimeters of water pressure over a 24-hour period. This is generally considered suitable for light to moderate rain and everyday wet conditions.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

While it offers good protection, the 5,000 mm rating is best suited for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.

Can I wear this jacket in windy conditions?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be wind-resistant, offering a good level of protection against typical breezes. However, it is not designed as an extreme windbreaker.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made of 100% Polyester, which contributes to its lightweight feel and durability.

How should I clean the jacket?

It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, the Gelert Coast Hooded Stormlite jacket features an integrated hood for additional weather protection.

What are the available sizes and colors?

This model is available in Black, and other colors like Green and Yellow are also available in the Gelert Coast line. Please check specific product listings for available sizes, which include UK women's dress sizes.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure the waterproofing treatment is still effective. Consider washing with a technical cleaner and reproofing the jacket according to product instructions. Check that zippers and seams are intact.

Zipper is stuck or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if it continues to be stiff.

Jacket feels damp inside

This could be due to internal condensation if worn in humid conditions or with non-breathable layers. Ensure proper ventilation by partially unzipping if needed. Also, check that the jacket's DWR coating is still functioning and not causing water to 'wet out' on the surface.

Cuffs are not tightening properly

Ensure the Velcro or elastic on the cuffs is clean and free from debris. Check that the adjustment mechanism is not damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear.

Compatibility: Suitable for adult women. The jacket is designed to be worn over typical everyday clothing. Check sizing chart for best fit.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and extend its lifespan, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  3. Reproofing: For continued water repellency, consider using a technical wash-in or spray-on waterproofer periodically, following the product's instructions. Re-activate DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish by tumble drying on a low heat for 20 minutes after washing, if feasible.
