FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a shell jacket designed for wind and rain protection. It does not have insulation, so you will need to wear warm layers underneath for winter use.
How do I pack the jacket?
You can fold the jacket into one of its own side hand pockets for compact storage.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softeners.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the Watertight II features an integrated hood to provide extra protection during rain.
Is the jacket breathable?
It is designed to be a protective shell. While it offers moderate breathability, it is best suited for general outdoor activities rather than high-intensity aerobic exercise.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the garment to remove dirt and consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Clean with a soft brush and apply a small amount of non-staining lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip the front and pocket zippers before washing. Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. Tumble dry on low heat, but remove promptly to prevent excessive wrinkling. Periodically, you may choose to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if you notice water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric.
