FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Hydrenalite City is weather-resistant and designed to handle light precipitation, but it is not a fully seam-sealed waterproof rain shell.

Can I layer a heavy sweater underneath?

The jacket is cut for a tailored urban fit; if you intend to wear thick, bulky sweaters, you may want to consider sizing up.

What is the best way to clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and use a mild, non-detergent soap if possible.

Is this suitable for extreme winter weather?

No, this is a lightweight urban piece and is not intended for sub-zero temperatures or heavy snow sports.

Does it have internal pockets?

The design focuses on a streamlined exterior to maintain its city aesthetic, with pocket placement optimized for easy access to essentials.

Troubleshooting

Fabric appears to lose water resistance over time

Wash the garment and apply a technical fabric DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresh treatment.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or lint and lightly lubricate with a graphite pencil if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated urban aesthetic suitable for multiple occasions
  • Lightweight feel that does not restrict movement
  • Reliable protection against wind and mild weather
  • High-quality construction and materials for long-term durability

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme high-altitude or severe winter conditions
  • Requires careful adherence to size guides due to the tailored city fit
  • Limited to specific colorways that focus on neutral tones

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the Hydrenalite City features a tailored fit, it is recommended to verify your measurements against the size guide, as sizing ranges from XS to XXL. To ensure longevity, always follow the care label instructions found inside the garment. Typically, this involves washing in cold water with mild detergent and tumble drying on low heat. Avoid using heavy softeners or bleach, as these can compromise the weather-resistant properties of the fabric shell. For storage, hang the garment on a wide, padded hanger to maintain its structural integrity over time.
