FAQs

How waterproof is the Mac In A Sac Origin 2 jacket?

The jacket has a high waterproof rating of 10,000mm, meaning it can withstand significant water pressure before leaking.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for rain and wind protection. While it's windproof, it does not provide significant insulation. For very cold weather, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.

How do I pack the jacket for storage?

The jacket is designed to be highly packable. You can fold it down and stuff it into its own pocket or a small bag. It fits easily into rucksacks, handbags, or glove compartments.

What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?

This means the jacket is manufactured without using harmful chemicals like Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), which are often used in waterproof coatings but can be detrimental to the environment and health.

Can I wash and dry this jacket?

Yes, the jacket is machine washable at 40°C. However, it should not be tumble dried or ironed. Air dry only.

What is the breathability rating?

The jacket has a breathability rating of 8,000 gsm (grams per square meter per 24 hours), indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood is concealed and adjustable with an elastic shock cord and toggle, allowing you to customize the fit.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth. Avoid using wax-based products which can attract dirt.

Hood adjustment cord is loose.

Check if the toggle or stopper on the cord is properly secured. If the cord itself has become frayed or damaged, it may need replacement.

Breathability seems reduced.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions. If a DWR treatment was applied, ensure it was a breathable formula.
