Full details

This Savage Gear WP Performance Jacket is designed for adult male anglers seeking reliable protection from the elements. Its key benefit is providing excellent waterproofness and breathability for extended fishing trips. A potential caveat is that while durable, it is constructed from Nylon Taslon, which may require specific care to maintain its performance over time. This jacket features a 10,000mm waterproof rating, 5,000mvp breathability, a detachable hood, and practical pockets with waterproof zippers.

FAQs

What type of fishing is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is specifically engineered for predator anglers and is ideal for general outdoor and fishing activities in wet or windy conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash or mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

What does '10,000mm waterproof' mean?

This rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm (about 32.8 feet) column of water before leaking. It signifies good protection against rain.

What does '5,000mvp breathable' mean?

MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission. A rating of 5,000mvp means that 5,000 grams of moisture vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating moderate breathability.

Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?

No, fabric softeners should be avoided as they can clog the technical fabric's pores and reduce its waterproof and breathable performance.

How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and how well the jacket repels water. If water no longer beads up and rolls off the surface, it's time to reapply.

Is the hood adjustable?

The jacket features a detachable hood, designed for flexibility. Specific adjustment features may vary, but it is intended to provide coverage and protection.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and seams are intact. The DWR coating may need reapplication. Check for damage to the fabric or PU coating.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside.

This can be due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the main zipper is partially open for ventilation if needed. Check that breathable membranes are not clogged by dirt or detergent residue; clean according to care instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a small amount of water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Detachable hood does not stay securely attached.

Verify that all attachment points (buttons, snaps, or zippers) are properly aligned and fastened. Ensure no debris is obstructing the attachment mechanism.

  • Practical features like waterproof pockets and a detachable hood.
  • Comfortable lining for extended wear.

Cons

  • Nylon Taslon material may require specific cleaning to maintain water repellency.
  • The 10,000mm waterproof rating is suitable for moderate to heavy rain but may not be sufficient for extreme, prolonged downpours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Savage Gear WP Performance Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general outdoor and fishing activities. It is compatible with other angling gear and accessories. It is available in various sizes (M, L, XL, XXL) and colours (Grey, Orange) to suit different preferences and body types.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a technical wash or a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and powder detergents, as these can clog the fabric's pores and damage the coating.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent residue.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid ironing.
  5. Re-waterproofing: Periodically apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore water repellency, following the product's instructions.
