FAQs
Is the jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket features waterproof stretch fabric, taped seams, and a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, providing complete protection against rain and snow.
What kind of insulation does it use?
It uses feather-free synthetic insulation. This type of insulation provides excellent warmth without bulk and performs well even in damp conditions, making it ideal for wet and cold environments.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. It is crucial to use a technical detergent specifically designed for outdoor apparel and to avoid fabric softeners, which can compromise the jacket's waterproof properties.
How do I maintain the jacket's waterproofness?
Regular cleaning and occasional re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment are recommended. You will know it's time when water stops beading off the fabric surface.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The description states 'zipped pockets ensure secure storage for essentials,' implying a good level of protection from the elements. While not explicitly stated as 'waterproof pockets,' they are designed to safeguard contents from moisture.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, it is specifically designed for 'extreme cold-weather adventures,' offering robust synthetic insulation and comprehensive weather protection features to keep you warm and comfortable in very low temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer seems waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a re-proofing treatment suitable for waterproof garments to restore its water repellency.
Jacket doesn't feel as warm as before
Ensure the insulation is not matted by washing and tumble drying on a low setting with dryer balls to restore loft. Avoid storing the jacket compressed for long periods as this can reduce its insulating properties.
Zipper snags or is difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) sparingly along the teeth to improve smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific 'setup' beyond selecting the correct size for a comfortable fit. It is compatible with standard layering systems for varying cold conditions; you can wear base layers and mid-layers underneath for enhanced warmth.
For optimal performance and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical fabric-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing and breathability.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and maintain insulation loft.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing for extended periods to maintain the loft and insulating properties of the synthetic fill.
- Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need to be replenished. Use a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer suitable for waterproof outdoor apparel as needed, typically when water no longer beads off the fabric surface.
