Full details

FAQs

What is the breathability rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 30000g/m²/24hrs, which indicates excellent vapor permeability.

How do I know if the XXL size will fit me?

The XXL size typically corresponds to a chest measurement of 48 inches. It is recommended to compare this with your own body measurements or a well-fitting jacket.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is designed for waterproofing and breathability. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating garments underneath.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent finish?

The frequency depends on usage and care, but it is generally recommended to re-apply the DWR finish when water no longer beads on the surface, typically after several washes or prolonged use in wet conditions.

What does 'taped seams' mean?

Taped seams mean that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape, preventing water from leaking through the needle holes.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.

This is likely due to internal moisture buildup. Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the cuffs and hem are adjusted to prevent drafts. If the issue persists, the breathability may be reduced; clean the jacket according to care instructions.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment following product instructions. Ensure all seams are intact and waterproof.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow to dry, then apply a wax-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth.
