How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener, and avoid tumble drying if possible.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, the jacket includes an adjustable hood to provide extra protection against the elements.
Is the jacket breathable?
Yes, the material is designed to be breathable, helping to prevent moisture buildup inside during physical activity.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied using a spray-on treatment if water no longer beads off the surface.
Difficulty with the zipper
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and clean any debris or dirt from the track using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure the adjustable hood and cuffs are pulled snug when facing high winds or heavy rain to prevent water ingress. For care, always follow the garment's wash instructions. Generally, it is best to machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the waterproof coating. Air drying is highly recommended to maintain the integrity of the taped seams, and avoid direct heat or ironing.
