This jacket is primarily designed for waterproof and breathable protection. While it offers wind resistance, it is not heavily insulated. For cold weather, consider layering base and mid-layers underneath.

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C (86°F) using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach.

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Reapply the water-repellent finish when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-shaped seams around the elbow and shoulder to provide a greater range of motion and comfort, especially during active movements.

The technical hood is adjustable for a secure fit, offering good protection against wind and rain. For extremely high winds, tightening the hood and hem will maximize its effectiveness.

The numbers refer to the hydrostatic head measurement (waterproofness) and breathability rating. The fabric used is Isotex stretch 15000, with a breathability of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours.

Ensure the jacket is zipped up fully and cuffs/hem are tightened to prevent external moisture ingress. Check breathability rating; while high, extreme exertion in very humid conditions can still lead to internal condensation.

Verify that the seams are properly sealed. If damage is apparent, contact customer support. The jacket is designed for waterproofness, but prolonged submersion or damage can affect performance.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.

The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment as per the product's guidelines.
