Full details

FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a shell jacket designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not provide insulation and is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.
What does EN343 certification mean?
EN343 is a European standard for protective clothing against precipitation (rain, snow). It certifies the garment's performance in terms of water resistance and breathability.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Can the hood be removed?

Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure all taped seams are intact. If seams appear damaged, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur if the garment's breathability is overwhelmed by high exertion or humidity. Ensure the jacket is properly vented if possible (e.g., open pockets if designed for venting) and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
