FAQs
What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water in a standard test, indicating good protection against moderate rain.
What does 5000g/m²/24hrs breathability mean?
This rating means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying good breathability for active use.
How do I convert the jacket into a belt bag?
The jacket has an internal pocket that it can be folded into. Fold the jacket neatly and zip it into this pocket; the pocket itself then serves as the bag, often with a strap to wear it as a belt.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme weather?
The jacket offers good protection for moderate conditions. For extreme cold or prolonged heavy downpours, it may be best used as part of a layering system or supplemented with more heavy-duty gear.
What chest sizes do the available sizes correspond to?
The available sizes correspond to chest circumference in inches: S: 38 in, M: 40 in, L: 42 in, XL: 44 in, XXL: 48 in, 3XL: 51 in, 4XL: 54 in, 5XL: 57 in. Note that the fit is generally considered generous.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, it is machine washable at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and high heat drying or ironing.
Are the seams sealed?
Yes, the jacket features taped seams, which are essential for preventing water from penetrating through the stitching holes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all zippers and fasteners are fully closed. Check that the DWR finish has not worn off; reapplication may be needed. Verify that taped seams are intact and not damaged. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt can affect performance.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This may indicate that the breathability limits are being reached due to high activity levels or high humidity. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. Check that no vents are obstructed.
Packaway pocket is difficult to use
Ensure the jacket is folded as compactly as possible before attempting to place it in the pocket. Practice folding it multiple times to become familiar with the process.
Reflective details are fading
Avoid harsh detergents and high heat when washing or drying. Refrain from ironing directly on the reflective trim. Air drying is often best for preserving reflective elements.
