Product Information

Full details

The Animal Elements Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult men who need reliable protection during seaside adventures or daily city commutes. Its 2.5-layer construction provides a practical balance between waterproofing and breathability, ensuring you stay dry without overheating. While it excels at shielding you from sudden downpours and unpredictable weather, please note that its 2000mm waterproof rating is best suited for light to moderate rain rather than extreme, prolonged storm conditions.

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for mountain hiking?

It is great for coastal paths and urban settings, but for high-altitude mountain hiking in severe weather, you may require a higher waterproof rating than 2000mm.

Does it come with an internal pocket?

The jacket features a sleek design; refer to your specific garment's interior for standard storage capacity.

How should I wash it?

Use a gentle machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius with mild detergent. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Can I use this in winter?

The jacket is a shell. It is effective in winter when combined with appropriate insulating mid-layers underneath.

Is the hood detachable?

No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure maximum water protection at the collar seam.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading off

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and apply a technical fabric re-proofer to restore water beading.

Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating

Check your base layers. Excessive sweating can exceed the 3000 breathability limit, so avoid heavy cotton layers which trap moisture.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight design perfect for layering
  • Highly adjustable fit at hood, cuffs, and hem
  • Balanced breathability for active comfort
  • Versatile aesthetic suitable for city or coast

Cons

  • 2000mm rating may struggle in heavy, sustained deluges
  • Lacks internal insulation for freezing temperatures
  • Specific to casual or light outdoor utility

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines. Always wash the garment on a gentle cycle using mild detergent, and avoid harsh fabric softeners which can degrade the waterproof membrane. After washing, hanging the jacket to air dry is the safest method. For compatibility, the jacket is designed as a standard 'M' size for men; its 2.5-layer build is thin enough that you can easily wear a mid-layer, such as a fleece or a light sweater, underneath during cooler days without restricting your range of motion.
