FAQs
What does 3L mean?
3L stands for three-layer construction, where the waterproof membrane is bonded to both the outer fabric and an inner lining, providing increased durability and protection.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical gear detergent and ensure the jacket is fully rinsed.
Can I use this for winter sports?
While it provides excellent weather protection, it is an outer shell. You will need to layer appropriately for warmth in winter conditions.
Does the hood provide good coverage?
Yes, the jacket is designed for technical use and includes a protective hood meant to shield against high winds and rain.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain the integrity of the seams and fabric.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a DWR re-proofer.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure you are venting properly during high exertion. If the inner membrane is not damaged, it is likely moisture buildup from sweat that cannot escape fast enough.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rain-Motion Jacket, focus on proper cleaning and maintenance. Always wash the jacket according to the care label, typically using a technical gear wash to prevent clogging the membrane's pores. Avoid using standard laundry detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. If you notice water no longer 'beading' on the surface, use a technical DWR re-proofing spray. For compatibility, the active fit works best with base layers or lightweight mid-layers. If you plan on wearing a heavy down parka underneath, consider sizing up to ensure comfortable movement.
