FAQs
What does '10K water resistance' mean?
10K water resistance, equivalent to 10,000 mm, indicates the jacket can withstand a column of water 10,000 mm high before water penetrates the fabric. This is suitable for moderate rain.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out and fold it into one of its own pockets, which usually has a hidden zip or closure designed for this purpose. Ensure it's flat and neat for minimal volume.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This jacket is designed as a windbreaker and rain protector, not for significant insulation. It is best suited for mid-season wear or as an outer layer over warmer clothing in colder weather.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at a maximum of 30°C using a mild process. Remember to wash it separately and protect accessories.
What is DWR treatment?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep the fabric dry.
How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?
After washing and drying, you can restore the DWR finish by using a specific DWR re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.
What does 'ripstop nylon' mean?
Ripstop nylon is a weaving technique that makes the fabric resistant to tearing and ripping. This is achieved by reinforcing the weave with equally spaced, stronger threads in a crosshatch pattern.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Check for debris and gently clean the zipper teeth. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the slider.
Water is seeping through
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for nylon fabrics. Ensure inner seams are intact.
Jacket feels sticky or clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the back ventilation cut-out is not obstructed and that the jacket is not overly layered for the current conditions. Clean the jacket as per care instructions.
Jacket is bulky after folding
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and clean before attempting to pack it into its designated pocket. Fold it neatly before stuffing into the pocket to achieve reduced pack volume.
