FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Spire Valley Windbreaker features advanced water repellency to handle light rain and drizzle, but it is not seam-sealed and is not classified as fully waterproof for heavy rain.
Can I use this for winter sports?
This jacket acts as a wind-blocking shell. It is suitable for winter activities if paired with appropriate insulating mid-layers, as it provides no significant warmth on its own.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable hood to help provide a secure fit and better protection against the wind.
How should I wash my windbreaker?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, use mild detergent, and avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry low or air dry.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket features a streamlined, athletic fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider your layering needs.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric during light rain.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Fabric feels damp inside during exercise.
Ensure the back venting is not obstructed by a heavy backpack and consider adjusting your base layers to ensure they are moisture-wicking synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellency of your windbreaker, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the performance fabric. When drying, tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the material. For optimal compatibility, wear this piece as a mid-layer or outer shell over moisture-wicking base layers to manage sweat effectively during active outdoor use.
