FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.

How breathable is the jacket?

It has a breathability rating of 8,000gsm, allowing a good amount of moisture vapor to escape to help keep you comfortable.

Can I pack this jacket into its own pocket?

Yes, the jacket is designed to pack into one of its own pockets, making it highly portable and easy to store.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, you would need to layer additional warm clothing underneath.

What type of zip does it have?

It features a YKK front zip that is water-resistant.

How should I clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. Avoid bleach, ironing, and dry cleaning. Tumble dry on a low setting and wash with similar colors.

Are the seams taped?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproofing.

What does the 'unisex' sizing mean?

Unisex sizing means the jacket is designed to be worn by individuals of any gender. It may have a more relaxed fit compared to gender-specific sizing, and features like drawcords help to adjust the fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

The water repellency may have reduced over time. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a wash-in or spray-on reproofing treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.

Hood or hem is not tightening effectively.

Check that the drawcords are not tangled and that the cord locks are functioning correctly. Ensure the drawcord channels are clear of debris.

Jacket feels damp inside during active use.

While breathable, intense activity can still lead to internal moisture. Ensure the main zip is partially open for extra ventilation, and that the cuffs are not sealed too tightly. Also, check that you are not wearing excessively insulating layers underneath that trap heat.
