Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but for very cold temperatures, it is designed to be layered. Add insulating layers underneath for warmth in extreme cold.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or biological detergents. Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry naturally.

What does 'PFC, PFOA, PFOS compliant' mean?

This means the water-repellent treatment used on the jacket is free from certain harmful chemicals (Perfluorinated Compounds) that can be persistent in the environment. It's an environmentally friendlier option.

Can I use this jacket for everyday wear?

While functional for everyday use, its design is optimized for active outdoor pursuits. Its technical features might be more than needed for casual daily wear.

How durable is the fabric?

The jacket is made from lightweight fabric. While durable for its intended use in hiking and outdoor activities, it may not withstand extreme abrasion from rough surfaces over prolonged periods.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood features adjusters at the back and sides to allow for a snug fit around the face and to secure the wired peak. Tighten or loosen these adjusters as needed.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric, not beading.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Underarm zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zip teeth. Lubricate with a silicone-based zip lubricant if necessary.

Jacket feels clammy inside during exertion.

Ensure underarm ventilation zips are open. Check that outer layers are not blocking airflow. The breathability rating may be exceeded during extremely high-intensity activities without adequate ventilation.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a non-biological detergent.

  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang to dry naturally. Avoid direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: For best long-term performance, re-apply a water-repellent finish periodically according to the product instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the fabric surface.
