Full details

FAQs
What type of rain is this jacket suitable for?
The jacket is best suited for light rain or drizzle due to its 2,000mm waterproof rating and DWR finish. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to severe weather.
How breathable is the jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 2,000, which allows for a moderate amount of moisture vapor to escape. This is suitable for everyday wear and light activities but may not be sufficient for high-intensity exercise.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for weather protection against rain. It offers little insulation on its own and is best worn as an outer layer over warmer clothing in colder temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent and similar colors. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and ironing. Tumble dry on low or air dry.
What does DWR finish mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a treatment applied to the fabric that makes water bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood is zipped and adjustable. You can typically tighten it using drawcords or toggles located around the hood opening to create a snugger fit against your head.
What sizes are available?
The jacket is available in various adult female sizes. Please refer to the product listing for specific size availability, such as the 8 and 18 mentioned in the product description.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment following the product's instructions, typically after washing and drying the jacket.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. You can also try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of wax along the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to condensation from insufficient breathability for your activity level or body moisture. Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated and consider if the jacket's breathability rating meets your needs for the activity.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Check that the taped seams are intact. If damage is visible, the waterproofing may be compromised. Contact customer support if the jacket is within its warranty period.
