FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.
How breathable is the fabric?
The fabric has a breathability rating of 8,000gsm, which is considered good for moderate outdoor activities. It includes features like underarm eyelets and back venting to enhance airflow.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer it over insulating garments like fleeces or thermal base layers.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does 'packaway' mean?
It means the jacket can be easily folded and stored into its own integrated pocket or a separate small bag, making it very convenient to carry when not in use.
Is this jacket suitable for men and women?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a unisex fit, making it suitable for adults of all genders.
Does the hood offer adjustability?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment according to the product instructions.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the underarm vents and back vents are clear of any obstruction. The jacket may also need cleaning to remove accumulated body oils or dirt that can block pores.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high-exertion activities. Ensure all vents are open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. For very humid conditions, breathability may be limited.
