FAQs

What does 'MTD' technology mean?

MTD is a technology that provides waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. It is rated at 10,000 Schmerbers for waterproofing.

Is this jacket warm enough for winter?

This jacket is unlined and designed for lightweight protection. It offers wind and water resistance but minimal insulation, making it best suited for transitional seasons or as an outer layer over warm clothing in winter.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and fold it into the designated inner pocket. Secure it using the integrated cord and carabiner.

What is the waterproof rating?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000 Schmerbers.

Can I wear this over a thick sweater?

Yes, the regular fit should accommodate layering over a sweater. However, very bulky layers may slightly restrict movement.

Are the reflective elements durable?

The reflective prints are designed for durability but should be cared for according to the instructions (avoid high heat, direct ironing on prints) to maintain their effectiveness.

What does '2.5L' refer to in the description?

'2.5L' refers to the fabric construction, indicating a 2.5-layer laminate. This typically means a waterproof membrane sandwiched between an outer face fabric and a protective inner coating, offering a balance of durability, weight, and waterproofness.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

Ensure the waterproof seams are intact. The fabric's water-repellency may diminish over time; consider a re-waterproofing treatment if necessary. Check that all zippers are fully closed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

The jacket feels clammy inside.

This can happen in very humid conditions. Ensure the hood and hem adjustments are not sealed too tightly to allow for some air circulation. The breathability of the MTD fabric is dependent on the temperature and humidity differential.

Reflective prints are peeling.

Avoid high-heat drying and direct ironing on the prints. If peeling occurs, carefully iron on a very low setting from the inside, through a protective cloth, to re-adhere the print.
