FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?
It is designed primarily for hiking. While it is wind and waterproof, it may not be durable enough for severe alpine conditions or ice climbing.
What does 2.5L mean?
It refers to the construction: a protective outer fabric, a waterproof membrane, and a half-layer protective print on the inside, keeping it lightweight.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this model features two external zipped hand pockets for accessibility.
Can I use fabric softener when washing?
No, never use fabric softener as it can strip away the waterproof coating and block the breathable pores of the membrane.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat to reactivate, or apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking and not cotton. Open the underarm vents to increase airflow if you are working up a sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your garment, always secure the hood and hem adjustments to match your body type before setting out. The jacket is compatible with standard hiking backpacks; the shoulder seams are designed to minimize chafing under pack straps.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle.
- Use a technical detergent suitable for waterproof membranes.
- Avoid fabric softeners as they clog the membrane pores.
- Tumble dry on low heat or air dry to help reactivate the water-repellent (DWR) treatment.
- Reapply a spray-on DWR treatment if water stops beading on the surface of the fabric.
