The Element Alder 2.0 Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult commuters and outdoor enthusiasts who need a reliable, packable layer for unpredictable weather. Featuring a 10K/10K DWR lamination, this polyester shell offers excellent protection against wind and rain while remaining highly portable for travel. While it excels in versatility and protection, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it is best utilized as a layering piece rather than a heavy-duty insulated winter coat.

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent.
The Alder 2.0 is a shell. It is windproof and waterproof, but it is not insulated. You should wear thermal layers underneath for warmth.
The jacket is designed to fold into its own integrated pocket. Simply invert the pocket and fold the jacket into the compartment.
This means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure over 24 hours and allows 10,000g of water vapor to escape through the fabric.
The hood features a lycra-bound edge for a snug, secure fit that stays in place without complex adjustments.
They feature storm flaps to protect against rain, but they are not submersible. Keep sensitive electronics in a sealed bag during heavy rain.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Ensure you are folding the jacket systematically following the internal pocket orientation; do not force it to avoid damaging the zippers.
While the jacket is breathable, high-intensity activity may still cause moisture buildup. Use it as an outer layer with moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
This jacket features a standard zip closure and is designed to fit true to size. To maintain the effectiveness of the 10K/10K lamination, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. When washing, use a mild liquid soap, close all zippers, and wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. For drying, air drying is recommended to preserve the integrity of the synthetic polyester fibers. If the jacket begins to lose its water-beading performance over time, you can refresh the DWR coating using a wash-in or spray-on waterproofing treatment specifically formulated for technical outdoor apparel.
