FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket is water-resistant thanks to Omni-Shield technology, meaning it handles light rain and snow well, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy rain.

How does the Omni-Heat lining work?

It uses a metallic dot matrix pattern on the interior lining to reflect and trap your body heat, keeping you warmer without needing heavy insulation.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it is machine washable. Use cold water, a gentle cycle, and mild detergent.

Does it have an internal pocket?

Yes, it includes a dedicated interior security pocket for storing valuables.

What is the insulation made of?

The jacket uses Thermarator insulation, which is made from recycled synthetic materials.

Is the hem adjustable?

Yes, it features a drawcord-adjustable hem to help seal out cold air.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric surface.

The Omni-Shield treatment may be wearing off. Re-apply a water-repellent spray (DWR) specifically designed for outdoor technical apparel.

Jacket feels less warm over time.

Check if the insulation has become matted. Tumble drying on low with dryer balls can help redistribute the fibers and regain loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for active use
  • Water and stain resistant exterior fabric
  • Lightweight construction allows for easy layering
  • Secure pockets for storing valuables
  • Environmentally conscious use of recycled insulation

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, continuous downpours
  • Limited coverage for head or neck as it lacks an integrated hood
  • Performance depends on layering for extreme temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, machine wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the Omni-Shield repellency. For the best drying results, tumble dry on a low heat setting; adding a couple of clean tennis balls to the dryer can help restore the loft of the insulation. When storing for long periods, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The fit is standard for an active adult; if you plan on wearing heavy base layers or a fleece underneath, consider the intended movement required for your specific outdoor activities.
