FAQs

What is Gore-Tex?

Gore-Tex is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric that uses a membrane with tiny pores that are too small for water droplets to pass through, but large enough for water vapor to escape.

How do I wash my Makalu Gore-Tex Jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

Can I iron this jacket?

No, ironing is not recommended as it can damage the fabric. Avoid high heat.

How do I maintain the water repellency?

Re-proof the jacket with a DWR treatment when the water starts to bead less effectively on the surface.

What is the Alpine fit?

The Alpine fit is designed for a close, athletic fit, allowing for a full range of motion while minimizing bulk.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

The jacket is ideal for a variety of activities, including hiking, mountaineering, and general outdoor use in wet and windy conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR treatment needs to be reapplied. Wash and re-proof the jacket according to the care instructions.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the hood using the drawcords to ensure a snug fit.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and apply a zipper lubricant.
