FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features 2.5-layer seam-sealed construction designed to provide a 5K waterproof rating suitable for rainy trail conditions.
Does the hood fit over a full-face helmet?
The hood is designed to fit over most standard mountain bike helmets, though fit may vary depending on the specific helmet model.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild, technical cleaner. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach.
Is the jacket insulated for winter riding?
No, it is a shell jacket. It is designed to be worn over layers, allowing you to customize your warmth based on the temperature.
What does the 5K/5K rating mean?
The first number (5K) refers to the waterproof rating, and the second (5K) refers to the breathability rating of the fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the surface fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure you are using the correct base layers. Using a moisture-wicking synthetic or merino wool base layer will help the breathable membrane move sweat away from the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow proper care instructions. For the best fit, adjust the drawcord at the hem before starting your ride to prevent the jacket from shifting during aggressive trail maneuvers. The elastic cuffs are designed to sit flush against your wrist or over light gloves.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent.
- Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating.
- Tumble dry on low or hang-dry in a well-ventilated area.
- If water stops beading on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR re-application spray to restore functionality.
