FAQs
What is the breathability rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 2000, which allows a moderate amount of moisture vapor to escape.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regularly clean the jacket using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softener. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically as needed, following product instructions.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. For cold weather, it is best layered over insulating clothing like a fleece or jumper.
What is the best way to pack this jacket?
The jacket is designed to be packable. Fold or roll it into its own pocket or a small stuff sack until it is compact for easy transport.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is crafted from Nylon, known for its durability and water-resistant properties.
Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity sports?
While it offers breathability, the 2000 rating is moderate. For very high-output activities, a jacket with a higher breathability rating might be more suitable to prevent overheating.
What sizes are available?
This jacket is available in various adult women's sizes. Please refer to the specific size chart for accurate measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment according to the product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Detergent residue or body oils can block pores. Wash according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softener. Check that vents (if any) are clear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check if seam tape is damaged. Minor leaks at seams may indicate wear. Consider seam sealing tape for repairs if damage is significant.
