Product Information
Full details
The Altura Nightvision Typhoon Waterproof Jacket is an essential piece of apparel for adult male commuters who require reliable weather protection without compromising breathability. Its primary strength lies in its 15k/15k waterproof rating and integrated reflective technology, which keeps you both dry and visible on dark, rainy rides. However, users should note that the relaxed fit may feel slightly loose for those who prefer an aerodynamic, race-style silhouette.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the waterproof fabric construction provides an effective barrier against wind chill during cold-weather rides.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Always check the care label on your specific garment; generally, low-heat tumble drying can actually help reactivate the DWR coating on waterproof gear.
How do the vents work?
The vents are positioned on the back and underarms to allow heat to escape while the jacket's orientation prevents direct rain from entering the openings.
Does it come with a hood?
The jacket is designed for road and commuter visibility; always check the collar area for packable features, though this model focuses on a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette.
Will my smartphone fit in the pockets?
The storage pockets are designed for standard-sized keys, credit cards, and most modern smartphones, keeping them secure while you ride.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through during long rides
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may need to be refreshed. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water beading.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Check that the ventilation vents are unobstructed. If the rain is light, ensure you are not overdressing with too many heavy base layers that restrict breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Altura Nightvision Typhoon Jacket, proper care is required. The garment is machine washable, but always consult the internal care label for specific temperature guidelines to avoid degrading the waterproof coating. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. The jacket is designed to be compatible with most standard cycling bibs or trousers. Because it is a relaxed-fit garment, it is best suited for upright or hybrid riding positions rather than aggressive drop-bar racing positions where the extra material might become cumbersome.
