FAQs
What does 5,000 mm waterproofing mean?
A 5,000 mm rating indicates the amount of water pressure the fabric can withstand before it begins to leak. This level is generally considered good for moderate rain and everyday weather conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain or storms?
The jacket provides reliable protection for everyday use and moderate rainfall. For prolonged exposure to heavy storms or extreme weather, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be more suitable.
Can I wear this jacket over a thick jumper?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a lightweight construction to allow for layering over clothing, including sweaters or fleeces, without significant restriction of movement.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.
Does the jacket have a hood?
Yes, the Gelert Coast Hooded Stormlite Waterproof Jacket features a hood for additional protection against the elements.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is crafted from 100% Polyester.
Are there other colour options available?
This product guide focuses on the Black variant. Other colour options may be available from the retailer.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Consider applying a re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear. Check that all seams and zips are intact.
Zip is difficult to move
Check the zip for any fabric snags or debris. Gently try to clear the obstruction. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zip lubricant can help.
Cuffs are too loose
The cuffs are adjustable via hook-and-loop fasteners. Ensure they are fastened correctly to achieve a snug fit.
Jacket feels clammy inside
While breathable, in very humid conditions or during strenuous activity, some moisture build-up can occur. Ensure you are not wearing excessive layers underneath that could trap moisture.
