FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Origin II is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. For very cold weather, it is best used as an outer layer over insulating garments like fleece or down jackets.

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

As this is a unisex jacket, we recommend checking the specific size chart provided by Mac In A Sac for accurate measurements. Compare your chest, waist, and hip measurements to the chart.

Can I wear this jacket for running?

Yes, the jacket is highly breathable (8,000 gsm) and waterproof, making it suitable for running and other high-intensity activities where staying dry from both external rain and internal sweat is important.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The pockets feature reverse zips, which offer water resistance. However, they are not fully waterproof, so it is not recommended to store electronic devices or valuables that cannot get wet in them during heavy downpours.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

The jacket is designed to be packable. Fold it neatly or stuff it into its own pocket or a small pouch. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.

What does 'PFC & PFOA Free' mean?

This means the jacket's water-repellent finish is made without Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), which are considered harmful to the environment and human health.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If damage is visible, consider a seam sealant. Re-waterproofing the garment may also help.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

Ensure the jacket is not too tight and that ventilation is open. During high exertion, it's normal for some moisture to build up. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath.

Zipper is difficult to use.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If resistance persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax can help lubricate it.

Jacket has lost its water repellency.

Wash the jacket using a specialized technical wash and then apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
