FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Jack Wolfskin Stormy Point Jacket is a shell jacket, meaning it does not have built-in insulation. It is designed to protect you from the elements and can be layered with insulating mid-layers for warmth.
What is the best way to clean the jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle using a special detergent for waterproof and breathable outdoor clothing. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low or air dry.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended after several washes or when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the instructions of the specific re-waterproofing product you are using.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
Yes, it can be worn in cold weather by layering appropriate insulating clothing underneath. The jacket itself provides windproof and waterproof protection but minimal warmth.
What does '2L' in similar jacket models mean?
'2L' typically refers to a 2-layer construction, meaning the waterproof membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, with a separate protective inner lining. This jacket features a robust 100% Polyester outer fabric for durability and weather resistance.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The product description focuses on the jacket's outer fabric being waterproof and windproof. While the pockets offer protection, it's advisable to use waterproof pouches or bags for highly sensitive electronics or valuables if exposed to prolonged heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or oils. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment as per the product's instructions. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Reduced breathability
Wash the jacket with a specialized technical wash to remove residues that can block pores. Ensure the inner lining is also clean.
Hood adjustment is loose
Check the drawcords and toggles for proper function. Ensure they are tightened correctly to secure the hood.
