'10k' refers to the hydrostatic head rating, indicating the jacket can withstand a column of water 10,000 millimeters high before it starts to leak. This provides good protection against moderate to heavy rain.
'10k Breathable' indicates the fabric's ability to allow water vapor (sweat) to pass through it at a rate of 10,000g per square meter per 24 hours. This helps to prevent you from getting too hot and clammy during activity.
This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. While you can layer warmer clothing underneath for cold weather, it is not insulated itself and is best suited for mild to cool temperatures with rain.
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
The jacket is designed for urban and general outdoor use. For serious mountaineering or extreme conditions, a jacket with a higher waterproof and breathable rating, along with more robust features, might be more appropriate.
The shell is made of 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester.
The cuffs feature hook-and-loop (Velcro) fasteners that allow you to tighten or loosen them for a secure, customized fit around your wrists.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a specialized re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for outdoor apparel.
Check if the DWR treatment needs to be reapplied. For persistent leaks at seams, specialized seam-sealing tape might be required, though this is a more advanced repair.
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. If the issue persists, the breathable membrane might be compromised.
Ensure the hood is completely dry and then carefully fold it before placing it in its storage area. Avoid forcing it if it seems stuck.
Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure the hood is stowed correctly in its designated compartment if not in use.
Compatibility: The jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with typical layering systems. Wear it over t-shirts, sweaters, or fleece for added warmth depending on the temperature.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance, always follow the specific care label instructions. Generally, for a 100% Nylon shell and 100% Polyester lining:
