FAQs

What is the water column rating for the Texapore membrane?

The Texapore membrane has a water column rating of 10,000 mm, indicating a high level of waterproofness.

Can this jacket be worn in freezing temperatures?

This jacket provides wind and water protection but offers minimal insulation. For freezing temperatures, it is recommended to layer it over warm clothing like fleece or insulated jackets.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after multiple washes or significant use.

Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain?

Yes, the 10,000 mm water column rating means it is designed to withstand heavy rain effectively.

What kind of detergent should I use for washing?

It is best to use a liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing or a mild, color-safe liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents and fabric softeners.

Does the jacket have a hood?

This description does not specify if a hood is included. Please refer to product images or specifications for details on hood features.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer beading water effectively.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.

Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.

Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the cuffs and hem are snug to prevent wind ingress which can affect breathability. Check that internal layers are not trapping moisture.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax designed for zippers.
