FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Origin 2 jacket is designed primarily for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered over insulating clothing, it does not provide significant insulation on its own. For very cold conditions, additional warm layers would be necessary.

How do I know if I need to re-proof my jacket?

If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, or if you feel dampness despite the jacket being in good condition, it is likely time to re-proof.

What does 'PFC & PFOA free' mean?

This indicates that the jacket has been manufactured without the use of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and human health. This signifies a more eco-friendly production process.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities like running?

Yes, the jacket's high breathability rating (8,000 gsm) makes it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities. The back venting also aids in temperature regulation during exercise.

How does the unisex sizing work?

Unisex sizing means the jacket is designed to fit both men and women. It typically offers a more relaxed fit. The product information states it is designed to be worn over layers, and includes toggles for adjustment, allowing for a more customized fit.

What is the waterproof rating, and what does it mean?

The jacket has a waterproof rating of 10,000mm. This measurement indicates the pressure, in millimeters, that a piece of fabric can withstand before it starts to leak. A rating of 10,000mm is considered highly waterproof and suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Ensure all seams are fully taped and that the YKK zip is properly fastened. If the issue persists, the jacket may require re-proofing. Check care label for washing instructions, as improper washing can affect performance.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable

Ensure the back venting is not obstructed. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove any buildup that might impede breathability. Consider if you are overheating due to excessive layering for the conditions.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Gently pull the drawcords to tighten. Ensure there are no obstructions in the cord channels. The toggles should allow for easy adjustment.

Zip is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric around the zip is clear. Gently try to move the zip up and down. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the zip teeth if it remains stiff, but avoid oils that could stain the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent waterproofing and breathability for comfort in diverse weather.
Extremely lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry.
Durable construction with fully taped seams and quality zippers.
Adjustable features for a customizable fit and enhanced protection.
Environmentally friendly materials (PFC & PFOA free).

Cons

Relaxed fit may require adjustment for some users, especially if not layering.
While water-repellent, the front zip could be a point of potential, albeit minimal, water entry in extreme conditions compared to a storm flap.
Primarily focused on rain and wind protection; may offer limited insulation for extreme cold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it and adjust the hood and hem drawcords as needed for a secure fit. The unisex sizing is designed to be worn over other layers.

Compatibility: The Mac in a Sac Origin 2 jacket is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities and can be worn by adults. It is designed to be layered over clothing, so consider your intended use and base layers when selecting a size.

Care Instructions:

Washing: Machine washable on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not iron.
Re-proofing: For optimal performance, consider re-proofing the jacket periodically using a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outdoor fabrics.
