FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

Yes, the 3L Pertex Shield fabric is fully waterproof and designed to keep you dry in sustained rain.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

The internal zipped pocket is designed to invert, allowing you to fold the entire jacket into itself; secure it using the integrated carry loop.

Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?

The hood features a cap-style design meant to move with your head and maintain vision without requiring constant manual adjustment.

Can I use this for winter mountaineering?

It is an excellent shell layer for high-output winter activity, but due to the slim fit, ensure your insulation layers underneath are thin and technical.

Is the DWR finish permanent?

No, DWR is a coating that wears off over time. It can be refreshed with proper care and aftermarket spray or wash-in products.

What is the benefit of a 3L construction?

3L (three-layer) fabric bonds the waterproof membrane between a durable outer face and a protective inner liner, resulting in a tougher, longer-lasting garment.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer.

Feeling damp or clammy inside

Ensure your base layers are synthetic or wool. Cotton absorbs sweat and prevents the membrane from moving moisture effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of high-level waterproofing and breathability
  • Highly packable design for weight-conscious hikers
  • Superior mobility due to articulated cutting
  • Environmentally friendly PFC-free DWR coating

Cons

  • Slim fit may limit heavy layering options
  • Focused on technical activity rather than casual urban use
  • Lacks external hand-warmer pockets found in heavier casual jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Rain-Motion Jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear as a shell over moisture-wicking base layers or a lightweight fleece. Avoid bulky mid-layers to maintain the benefits of the slim active fit.
  2. Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear cleaner specifically formulated for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores and reduce breathability.
  3. Re-waterproofing: If water stops beading on the surface (the "wet-out" effect), use a recommended DWR wash-in treatment to restore the factory finish.
  4. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away in its stuff sack for long periods to prevent moisture buildup.
