Is the jacket suitable for winter use?

The jacket is suitable for mild winter conditions, but it is recommended to layer it with appropriate insulation for colder temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR coating needs to be reapplied. Wash and re-proof the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Adjust the two-way hood adjustments until the hood fits snugly around your face and head.

The jacket feels clammy inside.

Open the underarm zippers to increase ventilation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers to wick away moisture.
