Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

This is a lightweight waterproof shell. It is not insulated and is best worn over sweaters or hoodies for warmth.

Does it come with a storage bag?

The jacket is designed to pack into itself or fold into a very small, compact unit for easy portability.

Can I tumble dry this jacket?

It is recommended to air dry this item to preserve the waterproof coating and synthetic fabric integrity.

What does 5000 mm waterproof mean?

This rating indicates the jacket can withstand a column of water 5000 mm high over a 24-hour period before water starts to penetrate the fabric.

Is the material breathable?

Yes, as a lightweight polyester shell, it allows for a basic level of airflow, though it is primarily focused on weather protection.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking through the fabric

The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a specialized technical fabric cleaner and re-apply a DWR waterproofing spray.

Zipper feels stiff or stuck

Check for fabric caught in the teeth. Gently pull the fabric away while easing the zipper back. Do not force it.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Highly portable thanks to the packaway capability
  • Effective 5000 mm waterproof rating for rainy days
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance
  • Secure zipped pockets prevent loss of items

Cons

  • Provides minimal warmth on its own
  • Does not feature internal lining for heavy insulation
  • Not intended for extreme mountain-grade rainstorms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent properties, follow these care instructions:

  • Washing: The jacket is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Close all zippers before placing in the machine to protect the fabric and hardware.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the synthetic material.
  • Re-treating: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, consider using a specialized DWR wash-in treatment to restore the water-repellent finish.
  • Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packaway state to prevent mildew buildup.
