Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-repellent due to the Omni-Shield finish, meaning it resists light rain and snow, but it is not waterproof for heavy storms.

What is the insulation made of?

It uses recycled Thermarator synthetic insulation, which is designed to retain warmth like down while being lightweight.

Does it contain harmful PFAS chemicals?

No, this jacket is constructed without the use of PFAS.

Can the hood be removed?

No, the storm hood is permanently attached to the jacket for maximum protection against the elements.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Use the drawcord at the hem to cinch the jacket closer to the body, which helps seal in body heat and prevents cold air from riding up.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric surface.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt/oils and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray.

The jacket feels less warm than when new.

The insulation may be compressed. Tumble dry on low with dryer balls to fluff up the Thermarator fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight feel that does not restrict movement
  • Effective at heat retention even in cold conditions
  • Environmentally conscious design with recycled insulation
  • Water-repellent finish protects against light rain and snow
  • Comfortable features like chin guard and adjustable hood

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, sustained rainfall
  • Lacks sealed seams found in fully waterproof shells
  • Polyester fabric can snag on sharp surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains effective, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR coating.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Adding a few dryer balls can help redistribute the insulation for even loft.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Do not store it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods to maintain the insulation's structural integrity.
  4. Maintenance: If the water-repellency fades over time, apply a spray-on DWR revitalizer compatible with synthetic materials to restore the outer finish.
