Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, it features 10K/10K lamination, meaning it is built to withstand significant rain while remaining breathable.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, the jacket is equipped with a lycra-binded hood designed to stay secure against the head during windy conditions.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

Yes, but you should use a mild, technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the waterproof lamination.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to fold into one of its internal or external pockets; refer to the specific pocket layout on your garment to find the designated packable compartment.

Is the reflective print visible from all angles?

The reflective print is located on the chest, providing primary visibility for oncoming traffic or approaching light sources.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or apply a spray-on waterproofing treatment.

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure you are layering appropriately; 10K/10K is breathable but can become overwhelmed during high-exertion activity in humid conditions. Adjust layers to optimize airflow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly portable and packable for travel
  • Effective 10K waterproof rating
  • Improved safety with reflective chest print
  • Keeps pockets contents dry with storm flaps
  • Lightweight construction for easy layering

Cons

  • Not insulated for freezing temperatures
  • Polyester material may need specific wash care
  • Minimalist aesthetic might not suit everyone

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, avoid frequent harsh washing and never use fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof lamination. If the jacket begins to 'wet out' (where water soaks into the fabric rather than beading off), wash it in cool water with a technical outerwear cleaner and tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate the water-repellent properties. Store the jacket hanging in a dry, cool area when not in use. While it can be packed for transport, avoid leaving it compressed in its pocket for extended periods (weeks or months) to prevent fabric creasing.
