FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with seam-sealed Futurelight 3L technology designed to keep you dry in heavy rain and alpine storm conditions.

How does the 'relaxed' fit translate to sizing?

The relaxed fit provides extra room for layering fleece or mid-layers underneath. If you prefer a trimmer silhouette, consider your normal size, as it is already cut to accommodate active movement.

What is a non-PFC DWR finish?

This refers to a Durable Water Repellent finish made without perfluorinated chemicals, making the manufacturing process more environmentally friendly.

Can I use this for skiing?

Absolutely. The waterproof rating and articulation make it suitable for backcountry touring and resort skiing, provided you wear appropriate base and mid-layers for warmth.

Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?

Yes, the adjustable hood is designed to be compatible with most standard climbing and mountaineering helmets.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading up

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Clean the garment and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent spray treatment.

Inside of the jacket feels damp after a hike

This is often caused by excessive sweat accumulation inside the shell. Ensure you are not overdressing underneath and utilize the front zipper to vent excess heat during high-exertion segments.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dust or grit. If it remains stiff, apply a non-greasy, water-based zipper lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional breathability for high-exertion activities
  • Reliable, seam-sealed waterproof protection
  • Ergonomic articulation for unrestricted movement
  • Functional pocket layout optimized for alpine use
  • Durable yet lightweight polyester construction

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may feel loose for some users
  • High-end technical features may be unnecessary for casual wear
  • Requires regular DWR maintenance for peak performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Rmst Futurelight jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Adjustment: Utilize the velcro cuff tabs and the hem drawcord to seal out drafts and customize the silhouette to your preference.
  2. Cleaning: Use a technical gear cleaner specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR finish and clog the pores of the membrane.
  3. DWR Reactivation: If water stops beading on the surface, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting to reactivate the factory-applied water-repellent finish. If that fails, apply a spray-on DWR treatment.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in a tight space for extended periods to preserve the integrity of the seam tape.
