FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, the Oklarna features Isotex 30000 fabric and taped seams, providing high-level protection against rain.
Does the hood detach?
No, this model features a grown-on (fixed) hood.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it is waterproof, it lacks the insulation and specific features like a powder skirt typically found in dedicated ski gear. It can work for casual snow activities if layered correctly.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical cleaner and follow the instructions on the inner care tag. Avoid fabric softeners as they can block the pores of the breathable fabric.
Is the fabric noisy when moving?
The ripstop construction is designed to be quieter and more flexible than traditional heavy-duty hardshells.
Does it have an inside pocket?
No, this jacket includes two external side pockets for storage.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric rather than beading
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore performance.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This may be condensation from internal sweat; ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust the cuffs to allow for better ventilation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, always follow the care label instructions. Wash the jacket using a technical garment cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane. After washing, a cold tumble dry or air drying is recommended to reactivate the water-repellent finish. The jacket is designed to be worn over layers; if you are planning to use it in sub-zero temperatures, ensure you have enough room for a thermal base layer and a fleece or synthetic mid-layer underneath.
