FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, the jacket uses GORE-TEX fabric combined with fully sealed seams to provide a 100% waterproof barrier.
Can I wear this in the winter?
Yes, but as it is a shell, it is best worn in winter by zipping in a compatible fleece layer for added insulation.
How should I clean the GORE-TEX material?
Use a gentle, technical detergent, wash on a cool setting, and always tumble dry on low heat to maintain the waterproof membrane.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design for maximum weather protection, though it is fully adjustable.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean?
It means the jacket has a slightly looser cut than standard performance gear, allowing for comfortable movement and room for extra layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads off the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate the finish.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and clean any debris from the zipper track using a soft brush.
Internal condensation buildup
Open the underarm ventilation zips to increase airflow and manage internal humidity during physical activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its technical properties, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: To use the zip-in feature, align the internal zipper of the jacket with the matching zipper on the Retro Denali fleece and secure.
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical fabric cleaner. Avoid bleach or heavy detergents that can damage the GORE-TEX membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish on the outer fabric.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing the jacket while damp to prevent mildew.
