FAQs

How do I re-apply the water-repellent finish?
After washing according to care instructions, you can use a spray-on or wash-in waterproofing treatment designed for technical outdoor apparel. Follow the product's specific application instructions.

What kind of activities is this jacket best for?

How do I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a compressed state for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the waterproof and breathable membrane.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs replenishing. Wash the jacket following care instructions and consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for outdoor gear. Ensure all seams and zippers are intact.
Reduced breathability.
The jacket's breathable membrane may be clogged. Ensure the jacket is clean by washing it according to the care instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impair breathability.
