FAQs
How do I clean the Mac in a Sac Origin 2 jacket?
You can machine wash it at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach. Do not iron.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Origin 2 is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell. It offers little insulation on its own. For cold weather, layer it over warm clothing like fleece or down.
What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?
This means the jacket is made without Perfluorinated Compounds (PFCs) and Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA), which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and health.
How should I care for the water repellent zip?
Keep the zipper clean by rinsing or gently wiping it. Avoid excessive force if it feels stiff. Regular cleaning helps maintain its water-repellent function.
Can I put the jacket in the tumble dryer?
Yes, but only on a low heat setting. For best results and to preserve the fabric's integrity, hang drying is recommended.
What is the waterproof rating in millimeters?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm, which indicates a high level of protection against rain.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket is highly breathable with a rating of 8,000 gsm (grams per square meter per 24 hours), allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR treatment. Ensure all seams are sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track.
Hood adjustment toggle is loose
Check the elastic cord for damage. If intact, try re-threading it through the toggle mechanism to secure it.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is not too tight and that the internal vents are not obstructed. Check if the breathability rating is sufficient for the activity level and environmental conditions.
