Yes, but you must use a specialized technical cleaner and avoid standard detergents or softeners to protect the waterproof membrane.

ISOTEX 15000 is a high-performance waterproof and breathable fabric that is tested to withstand a hydrostatic head of 15,000mm, meaning it is highly waterproof even in intense, prolonged rain.

No, the jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar for better weather protection.

The pockets are designed to keep contents dry, but they are not strictly 'waterproof' in the sense that they cannot be submerged. Always keep sensitive electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket for added security.
