FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Nimbus Jacket features Durable Water Repellency (DWR), which is designed to shed light showers. It is not a fully waterproof jacket and may not provide adequate protection in prolonged or heavy rainfall.

What kind of temperatures is this jacket best for?

This jacket is best suited for mild conditions or as a windproof layer over other garments. Its effectiveness in colder temperatures depends on the layers worn underneath.

How do I wash the Nimbus Jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C using a mild liquid detergent and a double rinse cycle. Avoid fabric conditioner and bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Can I reapply the water repellency treatment?

Yes, you can reapply a DWR finish after washing to restore its water-shedding properties. Follow the instructions provided with the DWR product you choose.

What does 'low bulk' mean?

'Low bulk' refers to the jacket's thin profile and minimal volume, making it easy to layer under other jackets or pack away without taking up much space.

Is this jacket unisex?

This specific product listing is for a women's size S jacket. Rohan offers similar models in men's sizing.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading.

The Durable Water Repellency (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's guidelines.

Jacket feels less windproof than before.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hem adjuster is tightened. For persistent issues, the fabric itself may have degraded, though this is uncommon with proper care.

Jacket is difficult to pack into its pocket.

Ensure the jacket is as flat as possible before attempting to pack. Ensure all air is expelled from the jacket. Sometimes a slight twist can help engage the packing process.
