FAQs
Is the jacket machine washable?
Hand-washing with mild soap is recommended to protect the TPU-bonded membrane. Avoid harsh detergents and machine agitation.
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm water column over 24 hours before moisture begins to seep through.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is removable and can be concealed when not needed.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed for weather resistance with press-stud covers, but they are not fully waterproof submersible compartments.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It provides excellent wind protection, though you should wear thermal base layers underneath for added warmth in freezing conditions.
Does it have a radio pocket?
Yes, it includes a dedicated upper zipped radio pocket for secure storage.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer layer
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be worn; apply a specialized DWR spray treatment to the outer shell once dry.
Hood feels loose or shifts in high wind
Use the built-in wired structure to shape the hood opening around your face and tighten the hook-and-loop adjusters at the rear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, keep the jacket clean by rinsing off mud or dirt after each outing. For deep cleaning, use a mild, non-detergent soap and hand-wash rather than machine washing, as heavy agitation can degrade the waterproof membrane. Always drip-dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent cracking the TPU coating. Ensure all hook-and-loop fasteners are closed before storage to prevent fiber buildup. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard layering systems, allowing you to wear thermal base layers underneath for added warmth during winter months.
