Can I pack this jacket into its own pocket?
Yes, it is designed to be packed into one of the hand pockets for easy storage and portability.
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is a shell with no insulation. It is designed to block wind and rain but should be layered over a warm sweater or fleece for winter use.

Does it have a hood?

Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches on fabric.
Clear any debris from the zipper tracks and ensure the inner storm flap is tucked away when zipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, always zip the pockets and front zipper before machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the waterproof properties. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away into its pocket to prevent mildew. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard base or mid-layers, so order your regular size for a standard fit.
