Product Information

Full details

This Jack Wolfskin jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection during outdoor adventures or daily commutes. Its key benefit is the breathable Texapore membrane, offering a 10,000 mm water column to keep you dry and comfortable in various conditions. A potential caveat is its plain design, which, while versatile, might not appeal to those seeking highly stylized outerwear. The jacket features a full-length zip, a hood, and is machine washable, making it a practical and functional choice for staying protected from the elements.

FAQs

What does a 10,000 mm water column mean?

A 10,000 mm water column rating indicates the jacket can withstand up to 10,000 millimeters of water pressure before leakage occurs. This is generally considered good for moderate rain and everyday weather protection.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and wind protection. For cold weather, it should be layered over insulating garments like fleece or down to provide warmth.

How do I ensure the jacket remains breathable?

To maintain breathability, always follow the recommended care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores. Ensure the jacket is clean.

Is the hood adjustable?

The product description does not specify if the hood is adjustable, but it is a standard hooded style providing coverage.

What materials is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester for both the outer shell and the lining.

Can I use this jacket for high-intensity sports?

The jacket offers good breathability for active use, but for very high-intensity sports in demanding conditions, a jacket with a higher water column and enhanced ventilation features might be more suitable.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor gear.

Jacket feels damp inside during heavy activity

While breathable, intense activity can sometimes lead to moisture buildup. Ensure the full zip is open slightly for increased ventilation, or consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper track. Avoid force.
