FAQs

What is Gore-Tex Pro and why is it used?

Gore-Tex Pro is a highly advanced waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane used in high-performance outdoor gear. It's chosen for its exceptional durability and reliable protection in extreme conditions, making it ideal for rugged activities like mountaineering.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket has a regular, articulated fit designed for layering. Refer to the size chart for specific measurements. Consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath; if so, you might consider sizing up.

Is this jacket suitable for casual wear?

While its primary design is for technical outdoor activities, the jacket's robust features and waterproof capabilities make it suitable for general use in wet or windy weather. However, its technical features are most beneficial during strenuous activities.

Can I wash this jacket with regular detergent?

No, regular detergents can damage the Gore-Tex membrane and the DWR finish. Use a specialized technical wash solution designed for waterproof outerwear.

What is the centre back length for a size Medium?

The centre back length for a size Medium is 78cm.

What activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is ideal for trekking, mountaineering, and general hiking in challenging weather conditions. Its design prioritizes protection, durability, and mobility for these activities.

How much does the jacket weigh?

The jacket weighs approximately 405g in a size Medium.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof; water soaks into the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish needs to be reactivated or reapplied. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat. If water still doesn't bead, apply a new PFC-free DWR treatment and iron on a low heat setting.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of dirt or debris. Gently apply a wax-based product or a silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood is difficult to adjust.

Check that the adjustment cords are not tangled or obstructed. Ensure you are using the one-hand adjustment toggle correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup beyond adjusting the hood, hem, and cuffs to your preference. It is compatible with most outdoor gear, designed to be layered over mid-layers and base layers.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash warm (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash solution. Do not use powder detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to remove all traces of detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes or until completely dry. Alternatively, hang to dry.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically, when the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is no longer effective (water no longer beads on the surface), apply a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in product according to the product's instructions. Iron on a low heat setting (synthetics, approx. 110°C) after re-proofing to reactivate the DWR. Ensure the iron is clean.
