FAQs

Is the jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Mac in a Sac Origin 2 is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It does not provide significant insulation. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating clothing like fleece or down.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproof properties?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent and no fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Periodically re-proof using a suitable product for best results.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

Fully taped seams mean that waterproof tape is applied over all the stitched seams on the inside of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes, ensuring complete waterproofing.

Can this jacket be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the jacket features unisex sizing and is designed to be worn by anyone, regardless of gender.

How packable is the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be highly packable and lightweight. It can be folded or rolled down to fit easily into a rucksack, handbag, or glove compartment, making it convenient for travel and emergencies.

What is the warranty period for this jacket?

Specific warranty information is typically detailed by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation for precise warranty terms.

Is the jacket made from environmentally friendly materials?

The jacket is PFC & PFOA free, indicating that it does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are often considered harmful to the environment.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If the taping appears damaged, consider using a seam sealer suitable for waterproof garments. Regular re-proofing can also help maintain overall water resistance.

Jacket feels damp inside during activity

This could be due to insufficient breathability for high exertion. Ensure the back vent is open and consider wearing moisture-wicking layers underneath. Make sure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick specifically designed for zippers if the stiffness persists.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Ensure the elastic shock cord and toggle are correctly threaded and not obstructed. Pull the toggle firmly to tighten the hood. If the elastic is worn, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C. Use a liquid detergent and wash with similar colours. Do not use powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources.
  3. Re-proofing: For continued water repellency, consider re-proofing the jacket periodically. Follow the instructions on the specific re-proofing product you choose. Generally, this involves washing the jacket, then applying a spray-on or wash-in proofing agent, followed by a gentle tumble dry to activate the treatment.
