Product Information
Full details
This Jack Wolfskin jacket in Black, size XL, is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection during outdoor adventures. Its key benefit is the breathable Texapore membrane, offering excellent waterproofing and windproofing without compromising comfort. A minor consideration is that while breathable, heavy exertion in very warm conditions may still lead to some moisture buildup.

FAQs
What does the '10,000 mm' waterproof rating mean?
A waterproof rating of 10,000 mm means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10-meter high column of water before any water penetrates it. This offers good protection against rain and snow.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with special detergent for waterproof-breathable textiles. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Iron briefly on a low setting without steam to reactivate the water repellency.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket provides excellent wind and water protection, making it a good outer layer. For extreme cold, layering with insulating mid-layers and base layers is recommended.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 6,000 g/m²/24h, which indicates a moderate level of breathability, suitable for many outdoor activities.
Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?
Yes, the jacket features adjustable cuffs and an adjustable hem, allowing you to customize the fit for comfort and to block out wind and rain.
Does it have many pockets?
The jacket is equipped with two zipped pockets for secure storage of essentials.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing agent designed for Texapore fabrics, following product instructions.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
Ensure all zippers and vents (if applicable) are open. Consider that while breathable, very high exertion in humid conditions can still lead to moisture buildup. Ensure inner layers are also moisture-wicking.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a wax-based product or graphite from a pencil to lubricate the zipper.
