FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Stormy Point Jacket is designed for waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection. For very cold weather, it's recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath. It provides a good outer shell but is not insulated on its own.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
When water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in, it's time to re-waterproof. You can test this by splashing a little water on the fabric.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C. However, avoid using fabric softener, as it can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties of the fabric.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the jacket is made without per- and polyfluorinated chemicals. These chemicals are often used in waterproofing treatments but can be harmful to the environment and human health. Jack Wolfskin uses more environmentally friendly alternatives.
What is the benefit of bluesign® certification?
The bluesign® system certifies that the entire production chain of the textile is screened for its impact on people and the planet. It ensures responsible use of resources, safety for workers, and minimal environmental impact.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the Jack Wolfskin sizing chart, usually available on their website or product tags. Consider what layers you intend to wear underneath when selecting your size.
What is the 'Green Button' award?
The Green Button is a German government certification that stands for independently verified quality and sustainability. It confirms that products meet high ecological and social standards.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a waterproofing treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure any taped seams are intact.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Avoid using fabric softener during washing. Check that vents are open if applicable and that you are not overheating due to excessive layering.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket has an odor
Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure it is thoroughly dried, as moisture can lead to odors. For persistent odors, consider a specialized technical wash designed for outdoor gear.

- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, or when water no longer beads on the surface, re-apply a water-repellent finish using a commercial waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for outdoor fabrics. Follow the product's instructions carefully, and consider a low-heat tumble dry afterward to activate the treatment.
