FAQs
Is this jacket breathable?
The Neptune Jacket prioritizes waterproof protection using a PU-coated fabric. While durable and flexible, it is not a highly breathable membrane and is best suited for cold to temperate, wet conditions.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
No. You should always hang-dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat or fire to preserve the fabric and seam welds.
Does it have a zipper?
Yes, it features a heavy-duty front zipper protected by a snap storm flap to ensure no water gets through the closure.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed for convenience and storage, but they are not classified as submersible dry pockets. Keep sensitive electronics in a dedicated dry bag.
Is the material resistant to oil and stains?
Yes, the PU-coated polyester is highly resistant to fish oils, dirt, and common marine contaminants, making it easy to wipe clean.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be leaking through the cuffs
Ensure the neoprene cuffs are pulled snugly against your wrists and not bunched up under your gloves.
Build-up of dirt or grime on the surface
Rinse with fresh water and use a mild dish soap to scrub away debris; rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
Hood keeps blowing back in high winds
Tighten the cord-locks on the 3-piece hood until it forms a secure seal around your face or headgear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Grundens Neptune Jacket, proper care is essential. After exposure to salt water, rinse the jacket thoroughly with fresh water to prevent salt crystallization, which can degrade the PU coating over time. Always air dry the garment away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, which can compromise the integrity of the welded seams. For deep cleaning, use mild soap and a soft brush; avoid harsh detergents or bleach. The jacket is designed with an active fit, so if you plan to wear heavy base layers underneath, consider how the jacket sits over your mid-layers before heading into the field.
