FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The Kilnsey jacket is fully waterproof with taped seams and a water-repellent coating, making it excellent for seasonal showers and light to moderate rain. While highly protective, for extreme, prolonged downpours, more specialized heavy-duty rain gear might be considered.
How do I make the jacket packable?
To pack the jacket, ensure it is dry. Lay it flat, fold the sleeves inwards, then fold the sides towards the center. Roll it tightly from the hem towards the hood, compressing it into its own integrated bag.
What material is the jacket made of?
The TOG24 Kilnsey jacket is made from 100% Polyester, which contributes to its lightweight, waterproof, and machine washable properties.
Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable elasticated waist for a flattering, feminine silhouette and a fixed, adjustable hood that you can shape around your face for added protection.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the jacket is equipped with two lower zip pockets to securely store small essentials.
How should I wash this jacket?
The jacket is machine washable. Please refer to the care label for specific instructions, typically a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water, avoiding bleach, and air drying or very low tumble drying.
Is this jacket warm?
The Kilnsey jacket is designed to be lightweight and waterproof rather than insulated for warmth. It's ideal for layering over your existing clothing to provide rain protection. For warmth in colder conditions, wear appropriate insulating layers underneath.
Troubleshooting
Water isn't beading off the jacket anymore.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need re-activating or re-applying. Machine wash the jacket as per care instructions, then tumble dry on a low heat setting to reactivate the existing DWR. If this doesn't restore repellency, consider using a DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being breathable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from your body. Over-layering with non-breathable fabrics can trap moisture inside. Also, check that the two-way zip is fully closed if in heavy rain, and consider adjusting ventilation by partially unzipping the top if conditions allow.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric lining or any other material is not caught in the zipper teeth. If the zipper remains stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (such as zipper wax or a silicone-based spray) to the teeth, being careful to avoid contact with the main fabric.
Jacket is not folding into its bag easily.
To pack the jacket efficiently, ensure it is completely dry. Lay it flat, smooth out any wrinkles, fold the sleeves inwards, then fold the sides towards the center. Roll it tightly from the bottom hem towards the hood, compressing as you go, before attempting to fit it into its integrated packaway bag.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your TOG24 Kilnsey Waterproof Jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack it, adjust the elasticated waist for a personalized silhouette, and shape the fixed, adjustable hood to best suit your face for optimal protection. The two-way front zip allows for flexibility in ventilation and movement.
Compatibility
This jacket is designed for adult women (Size 12 UK in this variant) and is suitable as an outer layer for various body types due to its adjustable features. It's intended to be worn over appropriate base and mid-layers, making it adaptable for use across different seasons, offering rain protection without heavy insulation.
Care
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Kilnsey jacket, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: The jacket is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the water-repellent coating and fabric integrity.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket by hanging it. If tumble drying, use a very low heat setting. High heat can damage the fabric and water-repellent treatment. Do not iron directly, especially on printed areas or logos.
- Water Repellency: Over time, the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may diminish. If water stops beading off the fabric, you can reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat for a short period. If this is insufficient, consider re-applying a suitable DWR spray specifically designed for waterproof outerwear.
