FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to Omni-Shield technology, meaning it sheds light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
This jacket is designed for everyday city cold; for extreme alpine conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer under a hard-shell coat.
What is Thermarator insulation?
It is a synthetic insulation made from fine fibers that trap heat to provide warmth without the weight or bulk of traditional insulation.
Does it have an inside pocket?
No, the primary storage is provided by the two external zippered hand pockets.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated, providing a snug fit without the need for velcro or snaps.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment suitable for synthetic outdoor gear.
Insulation feels uneven after washing
Dry the jacket on a low setting with dryer balls or clean tennis balls to agitate and redistribute the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no technical setup; simply ensure the size fits comfortably over your base or mid-layer clothing. To maintain the integrity of the Omni-Shield technology and the synthetic insulation, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
- Detergent: Use a mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softeners which can break down the water-repellent coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. You may add clean tennis balls to the dryer to help redistribute the synthetic insulation.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the jacket's shape.
