FAQs
How do I separate the fleece from the waterproof shell?
Unzip the fleece from the inside of the waterproof jacket, starting at the collar and working your way down. Then, carefully pull the fleece away from the outer shell.
Can I wear the fleece jacket on its own?
Yes, the fleece is designed to be detachable and can be worn as a standalone warm layer.
What is the waterproof rating (2000mm) suitable for?
A 2000mm rating is generally considered suitable for light to moderate rain and wet conditions. It provides good protection for everyday wear and outdoor activities where heavy downpours are not expected.
How do I clean the jacket if I don't have special detergent?
If you don't have a specialized outdoor detergent, use a small amount of mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid using powder detergents or fabric conditioners, as these can affect the fabric's performance and the waterproof coating.
What should I do if the jacket feels clammy inside?
This could indicate a need for better ventilation or that the breathability limits are being reached. Ensure the underarm vents (if present) are open and consider if the conditions exceed the jacket's breathability rating for your activity level. The outer shell should also be clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the hooded neckline is adjustable, allowing you to cinch it tighter for better protection against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Outer shell is no longer waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a re-waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Fleece is pilling excessively.
While the fabric is designed to be anti-pilling, some minor pilling can occur with heavy use. Use a fabric shaver to gently remove any pills. Avoid washing with abrasive materials.
Water is leaking through seams.
Check if the taped seams are intact. If they appear damaged or are peeling, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised. Contact customer support for further advice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The jacket is ready to wear out of the package. To utilize the 3-in-1 functionality, zip the detachable fleece into the main waterproof jacket using the internal zip system. Ensure the fleece is correctly aligned at the collar and cuffs before zipping.
Compatibility: This is a men's jacket designed for adult wear. The outer shell is compatible with the included fleece. Other items are not designed to be zipped into this jacket.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash the outer shell and fleece separately on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F).
- Detergent: Use a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the outer shell to air dry away from direct heat. The fleece can be air dried or tumble dried on a low heat setting.
- Re-Waterproofing: For continued water repellency, periodically treat the outer shell with a waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor fabrics.
