FAQs

How do I detach the fleece from the outer jacket?

To detach the fleece, carefully unzip the main front zipper of the outer jacket. Then, unzip the fleece from the inside of the outer jacket at the front. Finally, detach the internal securing points at the cuffs and collar.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, both the outer jacket and the fleece can be machine washed. It is recommended to wash them separately or together according to the care label instructions, using a liquid detergent and avoiding bleach or fabric softener.

What does 'Isotex 10000' mean?

Isotex 10000 refers to the hydrostatic head rating of the fabric, meaning it can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure. It also indicates good breathability.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the outer jacket features a concealed adjustable hood that can be tightened for a better fit against wind and rain.

How do I care for the waterproof finish?

To maintain the waterproof finish, it is recommended to re-proof the jacket periodically using a wash-in treatment or a spray-on waterproofing solution. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.

What kind of pockets does the jacket have?

The outer jacket has a right chest zip pocket, two front patch pockets, and side zip handwarmer pockets. The fleece has two front zip pockets.

Can the fleece be worn on its own?

Yes, the unlined 220 series anti-pill Symmetry fleece can be worn as a standalone jacket on dry, cool days.

Troubleshooting

Outer jacket is no longer waterproof

Reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish by washing with a specific reproofer or applying a spray-on treatment. Ensure all seams are sealed.

Fleece lining is difficult to zip into the outer jacket

Ensure the fleece is correctly oriented and fully zipped into the outer jacket at the front. Check for any obstructions in the zippers.

Zippers are stiff or snagging

Clean the zippers with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax. Ensure fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside despite not being rained on

This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the outer jacket's breathability is not compromised (check for blockages in vents or fabric treatments) and wear appropriate base layers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile with three wearing options.
  • Excellent waterproof and windproof protection.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating.
  • Removable fleece adds significant warmth.
  • Durable construction with taped seams.
  • Practical features like multiple pockets and adjustable elements.

Cons

  • Style may be more functional than fashionable.
  • Outer jacket might be bulky when worn alone.
  • Fleece lining can add noticeable weight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves deciding which configuration best suits the current weather. The outer jacket and fleece connect using internal zips and securing points at the cuffs and collar. To wear them together, align the fleece's front zip with the outer jacket's corresponding zip and pull both upwards. Secure the fleece cuffs to the outer jacket's cuffs using the internal stud closures.

Care Instructions: Machine wash the outer jacket and fleece separately or together following the care label. Use a liquid detergent and do not use bleach or fabric softener. Re-proof the outer jacket periodically with a water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment to maintain its waterproof performance. Air dry both components away from direct heat sources.
