FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and drizzles well, but it is not seam-sealed or waterproof for heavy downpours.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, this model features standard hand pockets suitable for storing small essentials.
Can I wear this in the winter?
This is a shell jacket designed for wind protection. It is not insulated, so it is best used as a layer over warmer clothing in cold weather.
How should I store the jacket?
Hang it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to maintain the fabric's integrity.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is fixed to the jacket but remains adjustable via integrated drawcords.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a store-bought DWR spray specifically for technical outerwear.
Drawcord is stuck or not cinching properly.
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the hem housing and clear any debris from the toggle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your windbreaker, use the adjustable hem and hood toggles to cinch the jacket when wind speeds increase. The jacket is designed for a streamlined fit, so if you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider your layering needs.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
- Use mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, which can degrade the water-repellent coating.
- Tumble dry on low heat.
- Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) spray periodically if you notice water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
