FAQs

What is the main benefit of the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish?

The DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric surface, providing protection against light rain and snow and helping to keep the wearer dry.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This is a lightweight jacket designed for milder conditions or as an outer layer. For very cold weather, additional insulating layers would be necessary.

How should I clean the jacket?

You can machine wash it at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Can I reapply the water repellent finish if it wears off?

Yes, you can restore the water repellency by using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel.

What does 'grown-on hood' mean?

A 'grown-on hood' is a hood that is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket during its construction.

Are the materials used environmentally friendly?

Yes, this jacket is made from recycled materials, contributing to sustainability.

What is the purpose of the reflective trim?

The reflective trim enhances visibility in low-light conditions, making the wearer more easily seen by others, which is important for safety.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment using a suitable product designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a small amount of wax or a graphite pencil.

Seams feel damp after light rain.

This jacket is designed with a DWR finish for light showers, not heavy or prolonged rain. For heavier downpours, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.

Jacket feels cold in windy conditions.

Consider layering a warmer fleece or mid-layer underneath the jacket. The Hillpack is a lightweight shell designed for protection from wind and light rain, not insulation.
