FAQs
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash the jacket separately on a cool or warm cycle (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Do not iron or use fabric softener.
What is the waterproof rating?
The jacket's outer shell has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.
What is the breathability rating?
The breathability rating is 5,000g, indicating the amount of water vapor that can pass through the fabric over a 24-hour period. This helps to allow perspiration to escape.
Can I wear the inner and outer jackets separately?
Yes, the inner softshell jacket is detachable and can be worn on its own, and the outer waterproof shell can also be worn independently.
How do I attach the inner jacket to the outer shell?
Align the zippers of both jackets and zip them together. The inner jacket typically has a specific zip system designed to integrate with the outer shell.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The outer jacket features zipped pockets, which offer protection against light rain. However, they are not designed for submersion, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may allow water to seep in.
What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for everyday wear, travel, and light outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, or commuting in varied weather conditions where both rain protection and warmth are needed.
Troubleshooting
Water leaking through seams
Ensure seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the waterproof coating may be compromised. Re-apply a seam sealer suitable for waterproof/breathable fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy or damp inside
This could be due to insufficient ventilation or internal condensation. Ensure zippers are partially open for airflow. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be at its limit for the activity level. Check that the mesh lining is not obstructed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant sparingly to the zipper teeth.
Inner jacket does not zip smoothly into the outer shell
Ensure both jackets are correctly aligned. Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Try zipping them slowly and carefully.

Cons
- Breathability rating (5,000g) is moderate and may be less effective during intense physical exertion compared to higher-rated jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
