FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the recycled ripstop nylon 4.0 fabric?

The recycled micro ripstop 4.0 fabric offers improved weather resistance and breathability compared to previous versions, while also being more environmentally friendly by utilizing recycled materials.

How does the jacket protect against wind and rain?

It features a waterproof, water-repellent, and windproof nylon ripstop fabric with sealed seams, a windproof inner flap, and an adjustable hem and hood, all contributing to effective protection.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is designed for wind and rain protection. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing, as it provides limited thermal insulation on its own.

How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and fold it into one of the two zipped pockets. The design allows it to compress into a small, portable size.

What does '10,000mm water column' mean?

A 10,000mm water column rating indicates that the fabric can withstand hydrostatic pressure equivalent to 10,000 millimeters before water penetrates, signifying good waterproofness.

Can I machine wash this windbreaker?

Yes, it can be machine washed at a maximum of 30°C (86°F) on a delicate cycle with a neutral detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and dry cleaning.

What is the 'DWR' treatment?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a finish applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper slider.

Water repellency seems reduced.

The DWR treatment may need replenishment. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's directions.

Jacket feels less breathable.

Ensure the fabric is clean. Dirt and residues can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash the jacket following the care instructions and ensure all detergent is rinsed out.

Hood drawstring is loose.

Check the stoppers on the drawstring. If they are damaged, they may need to be replaced. Ensure the drawstring is properly threaded through the hood.

Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and longevity:

  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Spinning: Spin at a low speed.
  4. Drying: Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean. Dry the garment flat or hang it to air dry away from direct heat sources.

  6. Water Repellency: To restore or maintain the water-repellent treatment, periodically use specific waterproofing sprays designed for technical outerwear. Always follow the product's care label instructions.
