FAQs

Is this jacket strictly for cycling?

While optimized for cycling, its design and performance make it suitable for a wide range of intense outdoor activities, including hiking and trekking.

Can I wear this over a helmet?

Yes, the hood is specifically designed to be fully adjustable and fits over most standard bicycle helmets.

How should I wash this jacket?

Use a gentle machine wash cycle with a technical detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.

What does the 3-layer construction mean?

It refers to the jacket having an outer face fabric, the waterproof membrane in the middle, and an inner lining, which increases overall durability.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets use Aquaguard zips to provide significant protection, though they are designed to be breathable, so moisture-sensitive items should be kept in a waterproof bag inside the pocket.

Is the fabric recycled?

Yes, the main fabric used in the Zoa Rain Shell is 100% recycled.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface of the fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and re-apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment.

Feeling damp inside during high intensity activity

Ensure that your layering system is also breathable. Avoid wearing cotton base layers, which trap sweat against the body.

Zippers feeling stiff or difficult to operate

Check the zipper tracks for dirt or debris. Clean with a soft brush and consider using a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Zoa Rain Shell, always store it in a cool, dry place when not in use. After exposure to heavy rain or mud, gently clean the exterior with water and a soft cloth. When washing becomes necessary, use a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes, ensuring that no fabric softeners are used, as these can clog the air-permeable membrane. Close all zippers and secure all drawcords before machine washing on a gentle cycle. For the best long-term protection, periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the exterior fabric once water no longer beads off the surface.
