FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Origin II is designed for protection against wind and rain. It is not heavily insulated and is best layered over warm clothing for cold conditions.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the specific size chart provided by Mac In A Sac for the Origin II jacket. Measure your chest and waist and compare these to the chart. As it is a unisex fit, consider how much layering you intend to do.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the jacket is highly breathable, making it suitable for activities like running or hiking where you generate significant body heat. The rear ventilation also aids in temperature management.

What does 'PFC and PFOA free' mean for the jacket?

This means the water-repellent finish used on the jacket does not contain Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) or Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), which are considered more environmentally friendly alternatives.

How do I store the jacket when not in use?

The jacket is highly compressible and designed to be packed into its own pocket or a small stuff sack. Store it in a dry place, unfolded or loosely packed, to maintain the fabric's integrity and water-repellent properties.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The two front pockets feature reversed zips, offering a good level of water resistance. However, they are not fully sealed and may not be suitable for storing sensitive electronics in heavy, prolonged rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a fabric re-waterproofing spray, ensuring even coverage and allowing it to dry completely.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse and dry. Lubricate the zipper with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.

Breathability seems reduced.

The jacket may need cleaning. Wash using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics, following the care instructions. Ensure all pockets are empty before washing.

Hood adjustment cord is loose.

Check the cord stopper mechanism. If it's not holding the cord, ensure it's properly engaged. Some models may have a small internal spring that can be checked or replaced if faulty.
