FAQs

What makes the MK2 version better than the original Drykore Jacket?

The MK2 version has been improved based on feedback from the original, aiming for even better performance in weatherproof protection and comfort while maintaining or enhancing durability and freedom of movement.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the Drykore MK2 Jacket is designed to be worn over other layers during colder months, providing essential insulation and excellent wind-blocking properties. Its waterproof and breathable nature also helps manage moisture in cold conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Re-proofing may be necessary periodically.

What does '20K waterproof and breathable' mean?

A 20K rating indicates the fabric can withstand a water pressure of 20,000 millimeters before leaking (waterproof) and allows 20,000 grams of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours (breathable). This signifies a high level of protection against rain and excellent moisture management.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than fishing?

Absolutely. The jacket is designed for versatility and is excellent for any outdoor activity where protection from rain and wind is needed, such as walking, hiking, or general exploration.

What sizes and colors are available?

The jacket is available in sizes ranging from S to 4XL and comes in Dark Olive and Korda's signature Dark Kamo patterns.

Will the longer back hem be a problem if I'm not sitting?

The longer back hem is ergonomically shaped to provide coverage without hindering movement when standing or walking. It's designed to ensure you remain covered and dry regardless of your posture.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.

This is likely due to reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Consider washing with a technical cleaner and re-applying a DWR treatment if the water repellency has diminished.

Water is seeping through the seams.

While unlikely with new, sealed seams, if this occurs, it may indicate a manufacturing defect. Ensure the garment has not been exposed to abrasive materials. Contact customer support if the issue persists.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. A silicone-based lubricant can help improve smoothness.

Velcro cuffs are losing their grip.

Clean the Velcro surfaces with a stiff brush to remove any lint or debris that may be preventing a secure closure. Avoid washing the jacket with items that produce lint.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  • Detergent: Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability and waterproofing.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  • Re-proofing: For optimal long-term performance, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically using a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment, following the product's instructions.
