FAQs

What does 'WP' stand for in the jacket name?

'WP' stands for 'Waterproof', indicating the jacket's primary protective feature against water ingress.

Can I use this jacket for activities other than fishing?

Yes, the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties make it suitable for various outdoor activities in wet conditions, such as hiking or camping.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

It's recommended to re-waterproof the jacket when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface, typically after several seasons of use or more frequent heavy use. Follow the care instructions for re-application.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a detachable hood. While the description doesn't specify adjustability, detachable hoods often have drawstrings or toggles for a snugger fit around the face.

What is the difference between 10,000mm and 5,000mvp?

10,000mm refers to the jacket's waterproof rating, indicating its resistance to water penetration under pressure. 5,000mvp refers to its breathability rating, measuring how much water vapor can pass through the fabric per square meter in 24 hours (MVTR - Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate).

Can I wash this jacket with regular laundry detergent?

It is recommended to use a small amount of liquid detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor wear. Standard detergents can leave residues that impair breathability and waterproofness. If using regular detergent, ensure it's a mild, liquid type and rinse twice.

What size should I order if I usually wear a Large?

This guide is for size XL. Please refer to a standard sizing chart for Savage Gear apparel or consult with your retailer to determine the best fit if you typically wear a Large. The jacket is described as having an 'ergonomic outdoor fit'.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside, despite no external rain.

This could be due to internal condensation. Ensure the WP zippers are fully closed and try to ventilate the jacket by opening the main zipper slightly when not exposed to rain. If persistent, check the breathability rating and consider if external conditions are exceeding the jacket's capacity.

Water is seeping through the zippers.

Ensure the WP zippers are fully zipped and that no debris is trapped in the zipper teeth. Clean zippers with a soft brush and mild soap if necessary. For prolonged heavy rain, consider using a waterproof cover for essential items stored inside.

Water is not beading on the jacket's surface and is soaking in.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outdoor apparel following the product's instructions.

Jacket lining feels sticky or is peeling.

This can occur with age or improper care. Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If minor peeling occurs, it may not affect performance, but significant damage may compromise comfort.

Care Instructions:

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes, or until completely dry. Alternatively, hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, re-apply a waterproof finish (suitable for breathable membranes) every season or when water no longer beads on the surface. Follow the product's re-waterproofing instructions carefully.
