FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The Mac in a Sac Origin Jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it is a shell layer. For cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How do I know if the unisex sizing will fit me?
Refer to the Mac in a Sac sizing chart, paying close attention to chest, waist, and length measurements. Comparing these to a jacket you own that fits well is recommended.
Can I wear this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does 'PFC & PFAS Free' mean?
It means the jacket has been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproof treatments but can be harmful to the environment.
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable, easily fitting into a small pouch or backpack compartment. Specific packed dimensions may vary slightly.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features 2 front pockets with reverse zips, which offer water resistance. For complete protection of valuables, consider using a waterproof pouch inside the pocket.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Hood adjustment is not secure
Check that the drawstrings are correctly threaded through the eyelets and toggles. Ensure the toggles are tightened properly.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry outside
This can be due to high humidity or intense physical activity. Ensure rear ventilation is open and consider adjusting layers underneath. The breathability rating of 8,000 gsm is effective but can be overwhelmed by extreme exertion in humid conditions.
