FAQs
What does Omni-Tech technology do?
Omni-Tech provides air-permeable protection that is waterproof and breathable. It keeps external elements out while allowing moisture from the inside to escape, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?
The jacket features an adjustable storm hood and a drawcord adjustable hem. You can tighten these areas to customize the fit and block out wind and rain.
Is this jacket warm enough for cold weather?
The Arcadia II is primarily a shell jacket designed for waterproof and breathable protection. It does not offer significant insulation on its own. For colder weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating clothing.
Can I pack this jacket into its pocket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable. It can be folded and stored within one of its hand pockets for convenient transport.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from 100% nylon 2L fabric with a 100% polyester mesh lining.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a liquid laundry detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water
Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is intact. Reapplication of DWR might be necessary if performance has degraded. Check that zippers are fully closed.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This may indicate insufficient breathability due to a clogged membrane or heavy perspiration. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Allow for ventilation by opening zippers if possible.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to dislodge any obstructions. Lubricate the zipper with graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it remains stiff.
