FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the DryFlight technology and DWR coating, meaning it handles light rain well, but it is not seam-sealed for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?
It is rated 2/3 for warmth. It is ideal for cool days, but you may need additional layers for temperatures near or below freezing.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket features a dedicated pack-it pocket. Simply invert one of the hand pockets and fold the rest of the jacket into it.
What material is the shell made of?
The shell is constructed from durable, high-quality nylon.
Does the hood have adjustments?
Yes, the fixed hood includes a drawcord to tighten the opening against wind.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh water-repellent spray treatment.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy after washing
Ensure you tumble dry with dryer balls to redistribute the polyester fibre fill evenly.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure the fabric track is clear of debris and rub a small amount of graphite or candle wax on the zipper teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's technical properties, follow these care instructions. Machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating. Tumble dry on a low-heat setting, ideally with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help fluff the synthetic insulation. For the best long-term performance, re-apply a DWR spray treatment once every season or whenever water stops beading on the surface of the nylon fabric.
