FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is best suited for protection against rain and wind. It is waterproof and windproof but offers minimal insulation, making it ideal for milder conditions or for layering over warmer clothing in colder weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softener or bleach. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry.
Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?
While the jacket provides waterproof protection, its breathability might be limited during very high-exertion activities, potentially leading to internal moisture buildup. It's more suited for activities where staying dry from external elements is the primary concern.
How small does it pack down?
The jacket comes with a dedicated stuff sack, allowing it to pack down very compactly, making it easy to carry in a backpack or day bag.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is made from a 100% Nylon 210T main fabric with a Polyurethane (PU) coating for its waterproof properties.
Does the hood have adjustment options?
Yes, the hood features a cordlock toggle system that allows you to adjust its fit and keep it securely in place.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Please refer to the retailer or Peter Storm's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and purchase date.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to the care instructions and consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for nylon and PU-coated fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Hood adjustment cord is loose.
Check the cordlock toggle. If it's not holding the cord securely, you may need to reset the toggle or replace the cordlock mechanism if damaged.
Seams appear to be leaking.
While this jacket is designed for waterproofness, extreme conditions or wear might affect seam integrity. For minor leaks, a seam sealer suitable for outdoor gear may offer a temporary fix. However, significant seam leakage may indicate the jacket has reached the end of its effective waterproof life.
