Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Cagoule is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from unpredictable weather during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is offering waterproof and breathable coverage in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is its basic storm flap closure, which may not offer the same level of absolute sealing as a full zip in extreme conditions. This cagoule is constructed from durable 100% nylon with a PU coating, featuring a hood with a drawcord, elasticated cuffs, and a half-zip with a storm flap for essential weather defense. It also includes a zipped pocket for small items and a stuff sack for easy portability, making it a practical choice for walking and backpacking.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this cagoule suitable for heavy rain?
The cagoule offers waterproof protection ideal for moderate to heavy rain. However, due to its half-zip design, it may not provide the same level of absolute seal as a full-zip jacket in prolonged, extreme downpours.
How do I pack the cagoule?
The cagoule comes with a dedicated stuff sack. Simply fold or scrunch the cagoule loosely and place it inside the sack. It is designed to pack down small for easy storage.
What material is the cagoule made from?
It is constructed from a hardwearing 100% nylon 210T main fabric with a PU (Polyurethane) coating for waterproofing.
Can I wear a backpack with this cagoule?
Yes, the cagoule is designed to be worn over other layers, including a backpack. Its cut allows for comfortable movement while carrying gear.
How breathable is this cagoule?
The cagoule features breathable fabric which helps to prevent moisture build-up during physical activity, enhancing comfort.
What kind of closure does it have?
It features a central half-zip with a wide storm flap secured by a concealed Velcro closure.
What are the care instructions for maintaining waterproofing?
Follow the standard washing instructions (machine washable at 40°C, do not bleach, tumble dry low). Periodically, you may need to re-apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for PU-coated fabrics to maintain optimal performance.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is leaking water
Ensure all drawcords and Velcro closures are tightened. Check for any damage to the fabric or coating. For persistent issues, consider seam sealing or re-applying a waterproofing treatment suitable for PU-coated nylon.
Hood is not staying secure
Tighten the drawcord firmly around the face. Ensure the cord lock is engaged properly.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently pull the zipper. If it snags, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it remains stiff.
Cagoule feels clammy inside
This can be due to internal condensation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the cagoule's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue. Open the half-zip slightly if possible for increased ventilation.
