FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash or rinse the jacket with fresh water to preserve the integrity of the RF welded seams.
Does the hood detach?
No, the 3-piece hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum water resistance and protection.
What does RF welded mean?
Radio Frequency welding uses electromagnetic energy to fuse the fabric seams together, creating a bond that is stronger and more waterproof than traditional stitching.
Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?
The jacket provides excellent water and wind protection but is not insulated. Layering with fleece or thermal wear is necessary for cold weather.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are water-resistant but not fully submersible. Keep sensitive electronics in a dedicated dry bag inside the pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be leaking through the zipper
Ensure the snap-down storm flap is fully engaged. If debris is caught in the zipper teeth, clean them carefully with a soft brush.
Internal condensation buildup
Since the material is 100% waterproof, it lacks air permeability. Wear moisture-wicking base layers to help manage internal sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Neptune 319 remains effective, proper maintenance is vital.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or spot clean using mild soap and fresh water after exposure to salt or dirt. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents which can compromise the welded seams.
- Drying: Always air dry the jacket in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Never tumble dry or place the jacket near intense heat sources like baseboard heaters, as this can melt or warp the waterproof materials.
- Storage: Store by hanging the jacket on a heavy-duty hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the jacket for long periods to prevent stress on the welded seams.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed as an outer layer. For colder climates, it is recommended to wear it over an insulating base or mid-layer to maintain body heat while the jacket handles the external moisture.
