Is this jacket truly waterproof?

How do I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical garment cleaner or mild soap. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and never dry clean.
What does the New Zealand cut mean?
It refers to the signature long-tail design that provides a scooped back, offering extra coverage below the waist.
Can I hide the hood?
Yes, the jacket is designed with a roll-away hood that can be packed into the collar when not in use.
Is the material noisy when moving?

Are the pockets waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to seep through the outer layer
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplying. Use a spray-on treatment specifically designed for 3-layer waterproof membranes.
Feeling damp inside despite no leaks
This is likely moisture buildup from sweat. Ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Ridgeline Monsoon Classic Jacket, follow these guidelines. Ensure you use the drawcord waist to cinch the jacket close to your body in high winds to prevent updrafts. Keep the cuffs adjusted snugly to prevent water from running down your sleeves. For maintenance, wash the jacket periodically using technical outerwear cleaners rather than standard household detergents, which can clog the breathable membrane. Always allow the garment to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the waterproof layers.
