FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it is constructed from 3L Pertex Shield fabric, which is designed to be fully waterproof while maintaining breathability.
How do I pack the jacket?
The jacket features an internal zippered pocket that acts as an integrated stuff sack for easy storage.
What does 3L fabric mean?
3L stands for 'three-layer', meaning the waterproof membrane is bonded between an outer durable fabric and an inner lining for maximum protection.
Can I wear this in extreme winter conditions?
It serves as an excellent outer shell, but it is not insulated. You should layer it over thermal mid-layers for cold conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical gear detergent on a gentle cycle. Never use fabric softeners.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often caused by humidity buildup rather than leaking. Ensure you are venting by unzipping slightly during high-intensity activity.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent balance of breathability and waterproof protection
- Lightweight and highly packable design
- Articulated cut prevents the jacket from riding up during movement
- High-quality construction with reliable DWR coating
Cons
- Slim fit might feel restrictive for some users
- Minimalist feature set may not suit those looking for multiple external pockets
- Requires periodic maintenance to keep DWR effectiveness
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions. Typically, this involves machine washing on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical fabric cleaner to maintain the DWR coating. Avoid using standard household detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the protective finish. For re-activating the water repellency, tumble dry on a low setting or follow instructions for a dedicated DWR spray-on treatment. The slim fit is designed to be worn over a base layer or a lightweight mid-layer; if you intend to wear heavy winter bulk underneath, you may find the fit tight.
