FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket is lightweight and designed for waterproof protection. It may not provide sufficient insulation for very cold conditions on its own; layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I clean the jacket?

The jacket can be machine washed at 40°C with similar colors. Avoid bleach, and tumble dry on low heat. Do not dry clean.

What does 'PFAS-free Texpel Splash Eco' mean?

This refers to an environmentally friendly water-repellent treatment applied to the fabric that does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are known to be persistent in the environment. Water beads up and rolls off the fabric surface.

How can I improve the water repellency if it decreases?

After several washes, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it by using a suitable re-proofing spray or a wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear.

Are there pockets for secure storage?

Yes, the jacket features two large lower pockets with secure closures for storing your essentials.

What is the benefit of the vented back yoke and eyelets?

These features are designed to enhance breathability by allowing air to circulate, which helps to prevent overheating and increases comfort during physical activity.

Does the hood pack away?

Yes, the jacket features a pack-away hood, allowing you to store it neatly when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider applying a suitable re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Always close zippers fully before washing.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Check if the tape on the seams is damaged or peeling. For minor issues, a seam sealer can be applied. If tape is significantly damaged, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised.

Vents feel insufficient for breathability.

Ensure the vents are not blocked by clothing or debris. For increased breathability during strenuous activity, consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
