FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the Omni-Shield technology, meaning it handles light rain and mist effectively, but it is not seam-sealed and should not be considered fully waterproof in heavy downpours.
Does the jacket pack down small?
Yes, because it uses lightweight synthetic Thermarator insulation, it is highly compressible and ideal for travel or stowing in a backpack.
Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?
It is suitable for a wide range of temperatures, particularly mild to moderate cold. For extreme, sub-zero conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier shell.
How do I know if the fit is right?
The jacket features an 'Active Fit.' You should be able to move your arms freely without the shoulders feeling tight. If you prefer a loose fit for layering, you may want to size up.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is permanently attached with stretchy binding to ensure a snug fit that seals out the wind.
Troubleshooting
Water beads are no longer rolling off the surface
The Omni-Shield coating may be wearing off; consider applying a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore water resistance.
Jacket feels less warm than usual
Check the interior lining for buildup of body oils or sweat, which can interfere with the heat-reflecting process; a gentle wash usually restores performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the heat-reflective lining and the water-repellent shell, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent clumping of the synthetic insulation.
- Avoid: Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the Omni-Shield water-repellency and the breathability of the materials.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed for an active fit; if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may find the sleeves or shoulders tight and might consider sizing up.
