FAQs

What does a 2,000mm waterproof rating mean?

A 2,000mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand 2,000 millimeters of water in a vertical test. It's suitable for light to moderate rain but may not be sufficient for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

While the jacket offers waterproof protection, its 2,000mm rating is best suited for moderate rain. For very heavy or persistent rain, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating would be more appropriate.

How do I maintain the waterproof properties?

Regular washing according to care instructions and periodic reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish will help maintain the jacket's water-repellency. Avoid fabric conditioners.

Can I wear this jacket for hiking?

Yes, it's suitable for light to moderate hiking. Its breathability helps manage moisture during activity, but for high-intensity or multi-day treks in challenging conditions, a more technical jacket might be preferred.

What is the benefit of the DWR finish?

The DWR finish causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, preventing it from soaking into the material. This helps keep you drier and maintains the jacket's breathability.

What sizes are available?

The product information indicates availability in various sizes, including Size 8, Size 10, and Size 12 for women. Please refer to the product listing for the most current size availability.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Check if the seams are properly taped and if the DWR finish is still effective. Consider washing the jacket and reapplying a DWR treatment. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can happen if the breathability limit is reached during high exertion. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath and consider opening the zippers slightly for ventilation. Wash the garment as per care instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed as an outer layer and is compatible with various types of clothing worn underneath, from t-shirts to light sweaters, depending on the ambient temperature. It is intended for adult female wearers.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle.
