FAQs

What does the '30000g/m²/24hrs' rating signify?

This rating indicates the jacket's breathability level. It means that 30,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, signifying excellent breathability.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent waterproof and windproof protection. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.

How do I ensure I order the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided. The chest measurement for size L is 42 inches. It's recommended to measure your own chest circumference and compare it to the chart.

Can the hood be removed?

The hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached and cannot be removed.

What is the main benefit of the Ripstop fabric?

Ripstop fabric is woven with a special technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. If a small tear does occur, the reinforced threads help prevent it from spreading.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features three zipped pockets: one on the chest and two on the sides.

What does 'Recycled Polyester' mean?

Recycled polyester is made from post-consumer plastic waste, such as PET bottles. It's an environmentally friendlier alternative to virgin polyester.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and residues. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish following product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.

Reduced breathability

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Ensure no detergents or fabric softeners have been used, as these can clog the fabric's pores.
