FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and drizzles well, but it is not seam-sealed or intended for heavy, prolonged rain.
How do I adjust the hood?
Utilize the built-in drawcord system to tighten the hood around your face for a secure, wind-resistant fit.
Can I wear this in the winter?
This is a lightweight windbreaker. It is best used as a shell over thermal layers during winter, rather than as a standalone insulated jacket.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, use mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat.
Does it have internal pockets?
No, this model features external zippered hand pockets for convenient storage.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need reactivation. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat to refresh the coating.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean out any lint or debris using a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Omni-Shield treatment, avoid using heavy fabric softeners during laundering. Machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. For optimal maintenance, tumble dry on low heat, which helps reactivate the water-repellent properties of the specialized finish. Due to its lightweight construction, the Spire Valley is highly compatible with base layers or thin mid-layers like fleece, allowing for versatile thermal management throughout the changing seasons.
