FAQs

Is this coat suitable for winter?

It is a lightweight waterproof shell, so it is best used as a rain layer. In winter, we recommend layering a fleece or sweater underneath.

How do I fold it into the pocket?

Turn the specific pocket inside out and fold the coat into itself, pushing the fabric into the pocket until the entire coat is contained.

Are the seams truly waterproof?

Yes, this product features fully taped seams, which creates a physical barrier against water entry at the stitch points.

Is the material machine washable?

Yes, it is made of polyester and can be machine washed on a gentle, cool cycle. Please check the garment label for specific temperature instructions.

Can the waist be adjusted for a slimmer fit?

Absolutely, there are internal adjusters that allow you to cinch the waist for a snugger, more tailored fit.

Troubleshooting

Water seems to be soaking through after heavy use

Over time, the outer waterproof coating may need refreshing. Apply a wash-in or spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.

The zip is sticking or difficult to close

Ensure no fabric is caught in the track. If the zip remains difficult to move, clear away any dirt or debris and lightly apply a lubricant like beeswax or a graphite pencil to the teeth.

Difficulty packing the coat into the pocket

Ensure all air is squeezed out of the garment as you fold it, and utilize the pocket volume by tucking the material firmly into the corners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the waterproof integrity of the garment, wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid harsh fabric softeners. For the best care, always zip the coat up and close all poppers before washing. Allow the coat to air dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the taped seams. The internal waist adjusters can be tightened or loosened as needed by pulling the elastic tabs located inside the garment. Store in a dry place, and when packing it into its pocket, ensure the coat is completely dry to prevent odors or mildew.
