FAQs

What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?

A 10,000mm rating indicates the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm (10-meter) column of water before it starts to seep through. This is considered good waterproofness for general outdoor use.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It offers minimal insulation and is best worn over other layers in colder conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Can I pack this jacket into its own pocket?

While the jacket is packable, it does not specifically feature a self-packing pocket. It can be folded down small to fit into a backpack or separate pouch.

What is the main benefit of the taped seams?

Taped seams are crucial for waterproofing as they cover the needle holes made during stitching, preventing water from leaking through these potential weak points.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester fabric.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-treatment spray or wash-in product according to its instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside after wearing in the rain.

This could be due to condensation from body moisture, especially during high activity. Ensure the jacket is not too tightly fitted and consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath. For extreme activity, a more breathable garment might be needed.
