FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
What do the 2,000mm and 2,000g ratings mean?
The 2,000mm rating indicates the level of water resistance, while 2,000g represents the breathability, measuring how much moisture can escape the fabric per square meter over 24 hours.
Does this jacket have an inner lining?
The jacket is designed as a lightweight shell, making it highly packable and breathable, which is ideal for layering.
Can I use this for skiing?
While it provides waterproof protection, it is not insulated like a dedicated ski jacket. It is better suited for hiking, travel, or commuting.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets have zips for security, but they are not fully sealed waterproof compartments. Avoid keeping electronics in them during heavy downpours.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through during heavy rain
Ensure the garment has not been washed with fabric softener, which damages the waterproof finish. Consider re-treating with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is likely due to condensation from trapped perspiration. Ensure you are layering appropriately for your activity level to allow the breathable fabric to function correctly.
Difficulty with zipper movement
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. Keep the zipper area clean and dry to prevent sticking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup for this jacket is straightforward: simply adjust the hood toggle and cuff fasteners to your desired tightness upon putting it on. To maintain the waterproof performance, it is essential to follow the care instructions carefully. Wash the jacket in cold water using a mild soap, avoiding heavy detergents or fabric softeners that can strip the protective waterproof coating. Always air dry the item rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer, as heat can damage the taped seams and the integrity of the fabric. Periodic reproofing with a technical wash-in waterproof treatment can help maintain the jacket's water-repellent performance over several seasons of use.
