FAQs

What does 'packable' mean for this jacket?

It means the jacket can be folded down and stored inside one of its own pockets, becoming very compact and easy to carry in a bag or backpack.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a 10,000mm water column, making it waterproof and suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme downpours or extended periods in heavy rain, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.

What is the main benefit of the micro ripstop 4.0 fabric?

This fabric is designed to be more weather-resistant and breathable than previous versions, while also being made from 100% recycled materials.

Can I wear this jacket over a thick sweater?

The jacket has a regular fit and is intended as an outerwear layer. While it can accommodate a light layer underneath, wearing it over a very thick sweater might feel restrictive.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry low or air dry. Refer to the product's care label for specific details.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the fixed hood features an adjustable drawstring to help secure it and provide a better fit around the face.

What does the 'unisex' designation mean for sizing?

The jacket is designed to be worn by individuals of any gender. Refer to the size chart and consider your typical fit preferences when selecting a size.

What is the water resistance rating?

The jacket has a water resistance rating of 10,000mm water column.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not repelling water effectively

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if necessary, following the product instructions. Avoid using fabric softener during washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Hood drawstring is loose or won't tighten

Check if the drawstring is tangled or if the toggle mechanism is obstructed. Gently try to reset the toggle and ensure the drawstring is threaded correctly.

Jacket feels less breathable

The breathability can be reduced if the fabric is dirty or the DWR treatment is compromised. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider a refresh of the DWR treatment.
