FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

While windproof and waterproof, this jacket is designed to be lightweight and breathable, making it best suited for milder conditions. For colder weather, layering with insulated mid-layers is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash solution, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

What does 'breathable' mean in the context of this jacket?

Breathable fabric allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket to the outside, helping to regulate your body temperature and prevent that sticky, damp feeling during activity.

Can I adjust the hood?

Information regarding hood adjustability is not provided in the product description. Please refer to product imagery or consult the retailer for specific details.

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is made of polyester.

Are the underarm zips waterproof?

The underarm ventilation zips are designed for airflow. While they may have some water resistance, they are primarily for ventilation and should be closed during heavy rain when maximum waterproofing is needed.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the jacket surface.

The DWR coating may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to re-apply a DWR treatment.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside, despite no external rain.

Ensure underarm ventilation zips are open during strenuous activity. The jacket's breathability can be enhanced by proper layering and opening vents.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or wax if necessary.
