FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, which is suitable for moderate to heavy rain.
How breathable is the jacket?
It features a breathability rating of 8,000gsm, designed to allow moisture vapor to escape during physical activity.
How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out, fold it neatly, and then stuff it into the designated internal pocket, usually found on the chest area. Zip it closed to keep it compact.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell. It does not have significant insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing underneath.
Can I wear this jacket if I'm male or female?
Yes, this is a unisex jacket designed to fit both men and women. Adjustable features help customize the fit.
What type of detergent should I use?
Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softener, bleach, or powder detergents, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. This can typically be every few washes or after prolonged use in wet conditions, depending on usage and care.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then consider applying a re-proofer spray suitable for waterproof and breathable fabrics.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are fully taped. If leakage persists after washing and reproofing, the tape may be damaged, indicating a potential manufacturing defect.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can occur if breathability is exceeded during intense exertion or if the garment is damp inside. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and have used the back venting. Wash the jacket to ensure membranes are clear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zip lubricant if needed.
