FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
Yes, it is designed with a durable shell featuring Omni-Shield technology to repel water effectively.
Can I wash this in a washing machine?
Yes, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners.
How do I pack the jacket away?
The jacket is designed to fold and stow compactly directly into its own hand pocket.
Does this provide warmth in winter?
This is a shell layer and does not contain thermal insulation. It is best used as a top layer over sweaters or fleeces in cooler weather.
What should I do if the water-repellency fades?
Regular cleaning helps, but you can also apply a commercial DWR re-proofing spray to restore the outer barrier.
Troubleshooting
Water is starting to soak into the fabric
The water-repellent coating may be wearing off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt buildup and consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or gets stuck
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no complex setup required for this jacket; simply wear it as your top layer. It is compatible with various mid-layers like fleece jackets or light sweaters for added warmth. To maintain the integrity of the shell and the Omni-Shield technology, machine wash the garment in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-repellent coating. Tumble dry on low heat, or better yet, line dry whenever possible to extend the life of the fabric.
