The Element Alder 2.0 Waterproof Jacket is a versatile, high-performance outer layer designed for active adults who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Featuring 10K/10K DWR lamination, this jacket provides an excellent balance of waterproofing and breathability, though its lightweight design is intended for layering rather than extreme winter insulation.

Yes, it features 10K/10K lamination, meaning it is built to withstand significant rain while remaining breathable.
Yes, the jacket is equipped with a lycra-binded hood designed to stay secure against the head during windy conditions.
Yes, but you should use a mild, technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners to protect the waterproof lamination.
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.
The reflective print is located on the chest, providing primary visibility for oncoming traffic or approaching light sources.
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.
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.
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.
