Full details
This hardwearing, waterproof jacket from Peter Storm is designed for men engaging in outdoor activities like trekking, hiking, backpacking, and general travel. Its key benefit is reliable protection against wet weather thanks to its PU-coated nylon fabric and Storm Shield technology. A potential caveat is that while waterproof, its packability may vary depending on how tightly it is folded into its included stuff sack. The jacket features a fixed hood, stormflap, elasticated cuffs, zipped hand pockets, and an adjustable hem for enhanced comfort and utility.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed as a waterproof shell and offers minimal insulation. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer warm clothing underneath.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features a cordlock toggle system. Pull the toggles to tighten the hood around your face and head for a secure fit, and release them to loosen.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and do not iron or dry clean.
What does the PU coating do?
The PU (Polyurethane) coating is applied to the main fabric to enhance its waterproof properties, creating a barrier that prevents water from penetrating the material.
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket comes with a stuff sack designed for easy storage. It packs down to a compact size, making it ideal for carrying in a backpack when not in use.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, traveling, and general everyday wear where protection from rain is needed.
How do I clean the zippers?
If a zipper becomes stiff, check for obstructions. You can apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or wax to the teeth to help it move more smoothly.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free it. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Hood cordlock toggle is loose.
Ensure the cordlock mechanism is properly engaged. If it continues to slip, inspect the cordlock for damage and consider replacing it if necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite no rain.
This jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and that the jacket is properly ventilated (e.g., open pockets if applicable, or consider adjusting the hem to allow some airflow).
