FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The Stormy Point Jacket is designed for rain and wind protection. For extreme cold, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating garments.
How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?
Regular washing with mild detergent and periodic reapplication of a DWR finish are key to maintaining its waterproof properties. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I use bleach or fabric softener?
No, bleach and fabric softener should not be used as they can damage the fabric and compromise its waterproof and breathable performance.
What is the difference between this and a non-2L jacket?
The '2L' designation refers to a 2-layer construction, which typically means a waterproof/breathable membrane laminated to the outer fabric, with a separate inner lining. This construction usually offers good durability and comfort.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a tightly compressed state for extended periods, which can affect its loft and material integrity.
What are the care instructions for the zipper?
Keep the zipper clean and dry. If it becomes stiff, gently clean the teeth and apply a zipper lubricant or wax.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a DWR finish. Ensure no detergent residue remains after rinsing.
Reduced breathability / feeling clammy inside
Check for blockages in the fabric's pores. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or oils. If using a DWR treatment, make sure it's designed for breathable fabrics and applied correctly.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a silicone spray specifically designed for zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; simply wear it. It is designed for compatibility with standard outdoor clothing layers. To maintain its waterproof and breathable performance, proper care is essential:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can impede breathability and water repellency.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
- Water-Repellent Treatment: Periodically re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after washing and drying, following the product instructions. This is crucial for the jacket's water-shedding ability.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
