FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it will repel light rain and snow, but it is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wash this in a machine?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a delicate cycle with cold water and avoiding fabric softeners.
What is the primary material used?
The shell and insulation are constructed from high-quality, durable polyester.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is designed to provide coverage, and the overall fit can be refined using the drawcord-adjustable hem at the waist.
Will the reflective lining cause overheating?
The lining is designed to regulate heat; however, if you are engaging in high-intensity exercise, you may find it quite warm and might need to unzip the jacket slightly.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beading on the surface
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and follow with a tumble dry on low heat or use a spray-on DWR replenishment treatment.
Zipper sticking or catching
Clear any debris or fabric strands from the zipper track. Use a dry lubricant like graphite or a candle tip to smooth the zipper movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a technical garment, proper care is essential to maintain the performance of the Omni-Shield coating and the reflective liner. When storing the jacket, ensure it is clean and dry to prevent moisture buildup. For washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR coating and degrade the efficiency of the water repellency. Always air dry the jacket away from direct high-heat sources to ensure the internal components and zippers remain in good condition.
