FAQs
What does the "10,000 mm" waterproofing rating mean?
A 10,000 mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10-meter column of water before leaking. This is considered highly waterproof and suitable for heavy rain.
What does the "8,000 gsm" breathability rating mean?
8,000 gsm (grams per square meter per day) means that 8,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This signifies good breathability for active use.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket itself is windproof and waterproof, providing an excellent outer shell. For very cold weather, you will need to layer appropriate insulating clothing underneath.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, fasten zips, and do not use bleach, fabric softener, or tumble dry. A specialized wash for waterproof gear can help maintain the fabric's performance.
What are the reflective details for?
The reflective details are designed to enhance your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or foggy weather, contributing to your safety.
Can I wear this jacket with other layers?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer shell, and you can layer t-shirts, fleeces, or lightweight jumpers underneath depending on the ambient temperature.
What does PFC and PFOA free mean?
PFC and PFOA are chemicals previously used in waterproofing treatments. Being free from these means the jacket has been manufactured using more environmentally friendly processes.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the main front zip is fully closed. Check for any damage to the fabric or zip. If the issue persists, consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment or washing with a specialized fabric wash for waterproof garments.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Also, ensure that any inner layers worn are also breathable.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a specific zip lubricant to help it run smoothly. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip slider.
Hood is not staying in place.
Adjust the internal drawstring or toggle at the base of the hood to tighten it around the face. Ensure the hood is fully deployed from its stowaway position.
