Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from the elements during urban commutes or outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the WeatherTite 10k technology, offering both waterproofing and breathability. A potential consideration is that while it offers protection, it is a shell jacket and may require layering for extreme cold.

FAQs

What does 'WeatherTite 10k' mean?

'WeatherTite 10k' refers to the jacket's technical specifications: '10k' waterproofing means it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure, and '10k' breathability means it allows 10,000g/m²/24hr of water vapor to pass through, indicating good protection and comfort.

Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?

This jacket is a waterproof shell, not an insulated winter jacket. It can be worn in winter layered over warm clothing, but it does not provide insulation on its own and is primarily suited for wet conditions rather than extreme cold.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Always refer to the care label for the most accurate instructions.

Can I wear this over a thick jumper?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be layered. You can wear it over a jumper or fleece for added warmth, and the adjustable cuffs can accommodate thicker layers.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell is made of 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester mesh.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

You can use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor gear. Follow the specific instructions on the waterproofing product's packaging.

Does the hood offer full face protection?

The hood is designed to offer protection from rain and wind. While it provides good coverage, it does not fully enclose the face for maximum protection against extreme elements.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer shell according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the mesh lining is clean and free of debris. Check that the jacket is not overloaded with too many inner layers for the conditions. Allow the jacket to air out completely after use.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant to help it slide smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing (10k) to keep you dry in wet conditions.
  • Good breathability (10k) to prevent overheating during activity.
  • Convenient foldaway hood for quick weather protection.
  • Customizable fit with adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs.
  • Durable construction for long-lasting wear.
  • Suitable for both urban environments and outdoor pursuits.

Cons

  • Lacks insulation, requiring layering for cold weather.
  • May not be suitable for extreme, prolonged downpours beyond its 10k rating.
  • The mesh lining may not provide significant warmth on its own.
  • Primarily designed as an outer shell, not a standalone winter coat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

Compatibility: Designed as a male adult outerwear garment, it is compatible with various activities such as walking, commuting, and light hiking. It can be layered over t-shirts, sweaters, or fleeces for added warmth.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance, always follow the specific care label instructions. Generally, washing involves:

  1. Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
  2. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproofing.
  3. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry.
  4. Re-waterproof the jacket periodically using a suitable spray or wash-in treatment, especially if you notice water soaking into the fabric rather than beading off.
