Full details

FAQs

What is the primary function of the integrated hood/balaclava?

The integrated hood/balaclava is designed to provide adaptable protection for your head and neck against wind, cold, and light precipitation, easily deployable when needed.

How does the body-mapping enhance comfort?

Body-mapping involves strategically placing different materials and constructions (like mesh panels and ribbing) in areas that tend to generate more heat or require more flexibility, thus optimizing breathability and freedom of movement.

Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?

As a mid-layer, it is designed to work with other layers. For very cold weather, you would typically wear a warm base layer beneath it and an insulated outer shell over it.

What does 'water-repellent' mean in this context?

Water-repellent means the fabric is treated to resist water absorption, causing liquids to bead up and roll off. It is effective against light rain or splashes but will not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy downpours.

Can the back leash holder be used for other purposes?

While designed as a leash holder for outdoor activities, it could potentially be used to secure other small, lightweight items, though its primary intended use is for leash attachment.

How do I care for the wind-resistant front panel?

Follow the general care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat, which can degrade the fabric's performance. Reapplying a DWR treatment periodically will help maintain its water-repellent properties.

What are the advantages of the invisible zippers?

Invisible zippers provide a cleaner, more streamlined aesthetic for the garment while still allowing functional access to pockets.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper track.

Reduced water repellency

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying according to care instructions.

Garment feels too warm

Utilize the central zip closure to adjust ventilation. Consider wearing it with lighter base layers or removing it if the activity level decreases significantly.
