FAQs
What does the 10,000 Schmerber rating mean?
It is a measure of waterproofness, indicating the fabric can withstand a water column of 10,000 mm before water begins to penetrate, providing high-level protection against rain and snow.
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Does the hood adjust for different head sizes?
Yes, the hood includes integrated adjustments to ensure a secure fit that stays in place during windy conditions.
Can I pack the jacket while it is damp?
It is not recommended. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing to avoid odor or potential damage to the technical membrane.
Is the fit suitable for both men and women?
Yes, it is designed as a unisex garment with a regular fit.
Where are the reflective elements located?
Reflective elements are located on the hood, the included storage bag, and the Aigle logo.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment and follow up with a technical fabric re-proofer to restore water repellency.
Condensation buildup inside the jacket
Ensure you are using appropriate breathable base layers. Avoid heavy cotton underneath, which traps moisture.
Zipper feels stiff or stuck
Check for fabric caught in the teeth. Clean the zipper track with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your Aigle MTD windbreaker, keep these care guidelines in mind. The jacket is best worn as a protective outer shell over moisture-wicking base layers or a light fleece. When it comes to cleaning, always use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the MTD membrane of its waterproof properties. It is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle, cool cycle. To reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish on the outer fabric, tumble dry on a low heat setting if the care label permits, or air dry away from direct heat sources. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it into its internal pocket to prevent mildew buildup.
