FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
No, the rubberized PU material should only be wiped clean with a damp cloth to protect the waterproof coating and seams.
Does the hood detach?
Yes, the hood is removable, allowing you to customize the look and function of the coat.
Is the jacket warm enough for winter?
The jacket is designed for rain protection and moderate temperatures. However, because it has a soft knit lining, it is very easy to layer with thermal base layers or heavy sweaters for colder days.
What is a 5000 MM water column rating?
This is a technical measurement indicating that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000 mm column of water over a specific area before moisture begins to penetrate the surface, indicating strong waterproof capability.
Can I use this for hiking?
While it is waterproof, it is styled for urban use. It is perfect for casual walking, but may lack the breathability required for intense, high-output mountain hiking.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the surface
The protective DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a specialized waterproofing spray designed for rubberized or PU garments.
The zipper feels stiff
Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or rub a graphite pencil along the teeth to help the zipper slide smoothly.
Creases forming in the material
Hang the jacket in a warm room for several hours; the heat will help the PU material soften and release wrinkles naturally.
