FAQs
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a fixed, two-way adjustable design integrated into the jacket for maximum weather protection.
Can I wash this jacket in a standard machine?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, but avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
Does this jacket have an internal pocket?
Yes, it features an internal zipped pocket, ideal for storing a phone or keys securely.
Is the insulation made from sustainable materials?
Yes, the jacket uses recycled synthetic insulation, aligning with eco-conscious manufacturing practices.
How do I adjust the fit at the waist?
The jacket is equipped with integrated adjustment mechanisms at the waist to help you achieve a more contoured or relaxed fit.
What is the function of the storm placket?
The storm placket covers the front zipper to prevent wind and rain from penetrating through the zip teeth.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated or reapplied using a suitable technical reproofing spray.
Difficulty operating the two-way zipper.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the track and clear any debris from the zip teeth. Do not force the zipper if it is stuck.
The jacket feels less warm than before.
Ensure the insulation has not clumped due to improper washing. Air-drying or tumble drying on a very low heat setting with dryer balls can help redistribute the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket lasts for many seasons, avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the PFC-free water-repellent treatment. If the jacket loses its ability to shed water, re-apply a technical waterproofing spray after washing. Always zip all zippers and close the storm placket before placing the garment in the washing machine to avoid damage to the fabric or the mechanisms. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and, when possible, air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators, as excessive heat can impact the integrity of the taped seams.
