FAQs
What kind of rain can this jacket protect me from?
The jacket is rated for light to moderate rain thanks to its IsoDry fabric and taped seams, suitable for typical showers and drizzly conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30-40 degrees Celsius with a non-biological liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket is lightweight and designed primarily for waterproofing. For cold weather, it's best used as an outer shell layered over warmer clothing like fleece or insulated mid-layers.
What does 'taped seams' mean?
Taped seams mean that waterproof tape has been applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from seeping through the needle holes.
How does the packaway feature work?
The jacket can be folded or rolled and then stuffed into its own integrated drawstring bag, making it very compact for storage or travel.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood can be adjusted for a better fit and offers protection when deployed. It can also be folded away into the back of the neck when not in use.
What is the waterproof rating?
The jacket is tested to 1,500mm, which is suitable for light to moderate rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR treatment designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure taped seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check if the inner lining is clean. Grime and body oils can reduce breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure the waterproof membrane is not blocked.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap and water solution. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Packaway bag is lost.
The jacket can be rolled or folded tightly and secured with its own internal stow pocket or a separate elastic strap if available. Consider purchasing a generic small dry bag for future use.
