FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10000mm, meaning it can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high without leaking.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
It is designed for good protection against rain, with a 10000mm rating and taped seams. For prolonged exposure to torrential rain or extreme weather, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and ironing. Tumble dry on low heat. Consider using a technical wash and re-proofing spray periodically.
What does the 'breathable' rating mean?
The breathability rating of 10000g/m²/24hrs indicates that the jacket can allow 10,000 grams of water vapor to pass through per square meter in a 24-hour period, helping to keep you dry from the inside.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. For cold weather, it is best layered over insulating clothing such as fleece or down.
What are the pocket configurations?
The jacket features 2 zipped side pockets and 1 inner pocket for secure storage.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the grown-on technical hood features a toggle adjuster and a wired peak, allowing you to customize the fit and protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear according to the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Water is leaking through the seams.
Check if the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealant for waterproof garments might offer a temporary fix.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.
This could be due to high humidity or perspiration. Ensure the garment is properly ventilated by opening the main zip and/or hood. If persistent, the breathability may be compromised by dirt; clean the jacket.
