FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof with a DWR finish, making it suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged downpours or extreme wet conditions, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams might be more appropriate.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features a drawstring that can be pulled to tighten and secure it around your head for better protection against wind and rain. It is also detachable.

Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?

The jacket is breathable, but its primary function is protection from wind and rain. In very warm weather, it may be too warm. It is best suited for mild to cool conditions.

What is the benefit of the DWR finish?

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish causes water to bead up and roll off the surface of the fabric, preventing it from soaking through and maintaining the jacket's breathability and lightness.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. A good rule of thumb is to re-apply when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric easily. Typically, this might be after several washes or significant wear.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets have zips, which help to prevent water ingress, but they are not designed to be fully submersible. They are suitable for keeping items dry from rain and splashes.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following product instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.

Jacket feels less windproof than before.

Check for any tears or damage to the fabric. Ensure all seams are intact. The primary protection comes from the shell fabric's density and coatings.
