Product Information

Full details

The Madison Flux 2-Layer Ultra Packable Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult male cyclists seeking reliable protection from adverse weather. Its key benefit is its ultra-packable, lightweight design that offers waterproof and wind-resistant capabilities without compromising mobility. A potential caveat is its specific focus on cycling, which might make it less versatile for general outdoor use compared to other jackets. This jacket features a 2-layer construction with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating, taped seams, a comfortable soft-touch collar, elasticated cuffs, and a silicone gripper hem for a secure fit. It also includes reflective inserts for enhanced visibility.

FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10k.

What is the breathability rating?

The breathability rating is 40k, which is considered very high and suitable for intense physical activity.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than cycling?

While designed with cyclists in mind, its lightweight, waterproof, and breathable features make it suitable for other outdoor activities like running or hiking, especially in changeable weather.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Based on the provided description, the jacket features a tall collar for neck protection but does not explicitly mention a hood.

What does 'ultra packable' mean in practical terms?

It means the jacket is designed to compress down to a very small size, easily fitting into a standard cycling jersey pocket, making it convenient to carry when not in use.

What is covered by the Limited Lifetime Warranty?

The Limited Lifetime Warranty typically covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover normal wear and tear, accidental damage, or improper care. Refer to the official Madison warranty documentation for full details.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, ensure it is dry, and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product manufacturer's guidelines.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Check that the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the membrane's pores. Wash the jacket using a technical wash detergent. Also, ensure the vents (if any) are open and that you are not wearing excessive layers underneath that contribute to internal moisture buildup.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap, then rinse. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to ensure smooth operation.

Reflective inserts are peeling or damaged.

This usually indicates excessive wear or improper care. While repairs might be difficult, ensure you follow washing and drying instructions strictly to prevent further damage. Contact customer support regarding potential repair or replacement options under warranty if applicable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it and wear it. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult male cyclists. It is compatible with standard cycling apparel, fitting comfortably over jerseys. Its unisex design might suit some female cyclists depending on sizing and fit preferences, but it's optimized for a male cut.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine wash on a cold cycle (30°C or 86°F) with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membranes.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
Re-waterproofing: Periodically, the jacket's water-repellent finish may need to be reapplied. Use a specialized spray or wash-in product designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions. Typically, this is recommended after several washes or when water no longer beads on the surface.
