FAQs
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a mild, technical-specific detergent and a gentle cycle to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
What is the benefit of the RFID pocket?
The RFID pocket is lined with shielding material to prevent unauthorized scanning of digital chips in your passport or credit cards.
Can I use fabric softener with this jacket?
No. Fabric softeners can clog the pores of the membrane and ruin the breathability of the jacket.
Does this jacket protect against heavy wind?
Yes, the fabric is specifically engineered to block wind, which significantly reduces the wind-chill effect during cold weather.
How do I re-activate the waterproof coating?
After washing, drying the jacket on a low-heat tumble setting (if care label permits) can sometimes help reactive the DWR, or you can apply a fresh DWR spray.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof membrane
Ensure the pit zips are closed if it is raining, or open them if you are perspiring heavily; moisture buildup may be internal condensation.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- High-reach design allows for unhindered physical movement
- Comprehensive feature set including RFID security and odor control

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain performance. Always close all zippers and fastenings before washing to prevent damage. Use a gentle, technical fabric cleaner rather than standard detergents, which can strip away the H2OShield DWR coating. For the best longevity, air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources. If you notice water no longer beads on the outer shell, re-apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore waterproof integrity. Ensure the fit allows for layering underneath, especially if you plan to wear it over thicker fleece mid-layers.
