FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off; tumble dry the jacket on low heat or apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Condensation inside the jacket
Ensure you are using the appropriate base layers; while breathable, the jacket works best when your base layer wicks moisture away from your skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, proper care is essential. Always close all zippers and fasten all closures before washing. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent; avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish of the shell. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew. The jacket is designed with a standard fit, making it compatible with most layering systems, provided you size up if you intend to wear heavy winter sweaters underneath.
