FAQs
Is the hood detachable?
No, this jacket features a grown-on (fixed) hood.
Can I wear this in extreme winter conditions?
The jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. It is best used as a top layer over insulating mid-layers like fleeces or down jackets during colder weather.
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket utilizes Isotex 30000 technology, which is designed for high-performance protection in very challenging weather conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Wash it on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner. Never use fabric softener, as it can damage the waterproof breathable coating.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, but always check the care label on the inside garment tag for specific temperature recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a waterproof reproofing treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure you are layering appropriately; excessive perspiration can sometimes overwhelm the breathable membrane if the temperature is too high.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris or fabric lint from the zipper track. If it remains stiff, apply a specialized zipper lubricant or rub the teeth with a pencil lead (graphite).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Use a technical fabric cleaner or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners or bleach, as these can destroy the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the garment naturally. If manufacturer labels permit, a very low-heat tumble dry can sometimes help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
- Re-proofing: If you notice water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the outer water-shedding capabilities.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding or storing it in a closet to prevent mildew buildup.
