FAQs
How waterproof is the Mac in a Sac Origin 2 jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 7000mm, which means it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking. It also features fully taped seams and a water-repellent front zip for added protection.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain protection. While it is windproof, it offers minimal insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over warmer insulating garments.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket features unisex sizing. It is recommended to consult the brand's sizing chart and measure your chest and waist accurately to find the best fit. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath.
Can I wash and dry the jacket in a machine?
Yes, the jacket is machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. It can also be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
How should I store the jacket when I'm not using it?
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing. Store it in a cool, dry place. It is designed to be highly packable, so it can be folded or rolled compactly.
What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?
This means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not contain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and human health.
How do I make the jacket waterproof again if it starts leaking?
If the water repellency decreases, you can restore it by cleaning the jacket and applying a new DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. These treatments are available separately and should be applied according to their specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable DWR treatment, following the manufacturer's instructions for the treatment product. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before reapplication.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt residue. You can also try applying a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Also, check that the back vent is not obstructed.
Hood adjustment toggles are difficult to move.
Ensure the drawcord is not twisted. Gently manipulate the toggle while holding the drawcord to loosen it. If debris is present, clean the cord and the toggle mechanism.
