FAQs

What does the 10,000 mm waterproof rating mean?

A 10,000 mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water in a test conducted by placing it under a standardized column of water for a set period. This signifies good to excellent protection against rain.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this jacket is not insulated. It is designed as a waterproof and windproof shell to protect against the elements, and layers underneath can be added for warmth.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 40°C (130°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric conditioners. Always check the care label on the garment for the most accurate instructions.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

Yes, you can tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. However, hanging it to dry is also an effective method and can help preserve the fabric's properties.

What is the purpose of the mesh lining?

The mesh lining enhances breathability, allowing air to circulate and moisture vapor to escape, which helps keep the wearer comfortable during physical activity.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets are zipped for secure storage. While the jacket material is waterproof, the zippers themselves may allow some water ingress in prolonged heavy rain. They are best suited for keeping items dry from light splashes or for securing items rather than submersion.

What is the difference between this jacket and a rain suit?

This jacket is a standalone waterproof outer layer. A rain suit typically includes both a jacket and trousers designed for full-body protection against heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through the fabric

Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions and that no fabric conditioner was used. Consider reapplying a suitable waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's stuck on fabric, carefully free the snagged material. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax if it continues to be stiff.

Mesh lining feels uncomfortable

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The mesh lining is designed for breathability; if it feels uncomfortable, ensure clothing worn underneath is smooth and non-irritating. Always follow washing instructions to maintain fabric integrity.
