FAQs

How do I know if I've chosen the right size?

Refer to the Mac in a Sac sizing chart available on their website or product page. Measure your chest and compare it to the chart. Since it's unisex, consider your preferred fit (e.g., roomier for layering).

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

The jacket is windproof and waterproof, offering good protection. For extreme cold, it is best used as an outer shell layered over insulating mid-layers.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and aggressive detergents.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

Reapply DWR when you notice water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric's surface. This typically depends on usage, but every 6-12 months of regular use is a good guideline.

What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?

It means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) or perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are considered more environmentally friendly alternatives.

What is the waterproof rating in simple terms?

A 10,000mm rating means the jacket can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before leaking. This is considered good for general outdoor activities and moderate to heavy rain.

How does the back ventilation work?

The back panel typically features small openings or a mesh layer that allows air to circulate, helping to release heat and moisture buildup from your back during strenuous activity.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the seams.

Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. If damage is present, consider seam sealing or contacting customer support. For older jackets, the DWR may need reapplication.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the back vents are open and check that the inside of the jacket is clean, as dirt can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions.

Zip is stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zip.

Jacket no longer repels water effectively.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zips are closed and the hood and hem drawcords are adjusted for optimal fit and protection.

Compatibility: The unisex sizing is designed to fit a wide range of adults. Check the size chart carefully to select the best fit for your body type. The jacket is compatible with most outdoor activities and can be layered over mid-weight insulation for colder conditions.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, bleach, or strong detergents, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable membrane.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
  3. Re-proofing: For optimal performance, re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish periodically, following the product's instructions, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
