FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the jacket features 10,000mm waterproof levels and fully taped seams, making it highly effective in heavy rain for general use. For prolonged exposure in extreme conditions, consider a jacket with higher hydrostatic head ratings.

How do I pack the jacket away?

The jacket can be folded and stowed into its own designated 'sac' or pocket. It's designed to be compact and lightweight for easy storage in a bag or rucksack.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 8,000gsm, which is suitable for moderate activity levels.

Can I wear this jacket over a thick jumper?

The jacket is designed as outerwear and can be worn over multiple layers. For very thick layers, consider sizing up to ensure comfort and freedom of movement.

Are the pockets waterproof?

Yes, the two front zipped pockets feature waterproof reversed zips to help keep your belongings dry.

How should I clean the jacket?

The jacket is machine washable at 40°C using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry.

What do the reflective details do?

The reflective detailing enhances your visibility in low-light conditions, making it safer for outdoor activities during dawn, dusk, or poor weather.

Does the hood offer adjustment?

Yes, the hood is concealed and adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and then apply a re-proofing treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zip is free from debris. Gently clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth. You can apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zip lubricant) to the teeth to improve glide.

Reduced breathability or feeling clammy inside

Ensure underarm vents and back vents are open and not obstructed. Wash the jacket to remove any potential build-up of body oils or dirt that could affect fabric performance.

Elasticated cuffs feel loose

The elastic may have lost some tension over time. While this is a common wear-and-tear issue, ensure the cuffs are clean to maintain a snug fit.
