FAQs
What is the primary function of the Dry Vent™ 2L shell?
The Dry Vent™ 2L shell is designed to be both waterproof and breathable. It prevents external moisture like rain from entering the jacket while allowing internal moisture vapor to escape, keeping you dry from the inside and out.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a powder detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low and do not iron or dry clean. This helps preserve the waterproof and breathable properties.
What does the DWR finish do?
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish is a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, preventing the fabric from becoming saturated and maintaining breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for wet and cold conditions. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket (like a fleece or down jacket) underneath the Mountain Range Jacket.
Are the zippers truly waterproof?
The jacket features YKK® Aqua Guard® zippers, which are weather-resistant and offer a higher level of protection against water entry compared to standard zippers. However, they are not fully submersible.
What does 'relaxed fit' mean for this jacket?
A relaxed fit provides more room in the body and sleeves for comfort and ease of movement. It allows for comfortable layering with other garments without feeling restrictive.
How do I adjust the hood and cuffs?
The hood has a drawstring that can be tightened to create a snugger fit. The cuffs feature adjustable tabs, typically with Velcro, that can be secured to seal out wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the fabric.
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. If it has worn off, clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a new DWR treatment according to the product's guidelines.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Ensure no debris is caught in the zipper. For Aqua Guard® zippers, avoid excessive force.
Hood is not staying in place.
Tighten the drawstring on the hood to secure it more firmly around your head. Ensure it is adjusted evenly on both sides.
Seams appear to be leaking.
The Dry Vent™ 2L shell is seam-sealed for waterproofness. If leaks occur at seams, it may indicate damage to the seam tape. Contact customer support for inspection or repair options.
