FAQs

Is the hood removable?

The hood is concealed and adjustable, meaning it tucks away when not in use but is integrated into the jacket design.

Can this jacket be tumble dried?

It is best to air dry to protect the waterproof membranes and insulation; check the garment's internal care label for specific temperature limits if tumble drying is necessary.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle using mild detergent.

Does it have a pocket for a phone?

Yes, the right chest zip pocket and the inner tear release pocket are suitable for storing small items like smartphones.

How do the handwarmer pockets work?

These are dedicated zip compartments designed with linings to keep your hands warm and protected from the wind.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Use a wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment specifically for outdoor jackets.

Stiff or sticky zipper

Check for fabric caught in the storm flap and ensure the track is free of dirt. A light application of specialized zipper lubricant can help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal retention with Thermo-Guard technology
  • Comprehensive weather protection with taped seams
  • Functional pocket layout for convenience and warmth
  • Adjustable features allow for a tailored fit
  • Durable polyester construction

Cons

  • Heavier weight due to insulation
  • May feel too warm for mild or high-activity days
  • Limited breathability compared to lightweight shells

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the water-repellent finish. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a dedicated technical gear cleaner if possible, and always zip up the front closure and pockets before washing. Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the insulation. The jacket is designed with a standard fit, making it compatible with layering underneath; however, its inherent warmth often means a light base layer is sufficient for most winter conditions.
