FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?

It is designed for hill walking and general outdoor use. While it provides excellent weather protection, it lacks the specialized features required for high-altitude or technical winter climbing.

How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Regularly clean the jacket to remove dirt and body oils, and use a reproofing spray if water no longer beads off the surface.

Does the hood provide enough coverage?

Yes, the rollaway hood is designed for general rain protection and features adjustments to help keep it secure in wind.

Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?

The RG Alpha 2.0 is cut with a standard fit, so it should accommodate a mid-layer like a fleece comfortably, provided you choose your standard size.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable. Please refer to the specific care instructions on the garment label for recommended temperature and cycles.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading up

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket during heavy exertion

While Hydroshell is breathable, heavy exertion can exceed its capacity. Adjust your base layers to be more moisture-wicking and consider unzipping slightly if your activity level is high.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof protection for diverse conditions
  • Breathable material prevents moisture buildup
  • Highly adjustable design for a personalized fit
  • Clean, versatile styling for multi-purpose use

Cons

  • Does not include advanced technical mountaineering features
  • Rollaway hood can add slight bulk to the collar area
  • Specific to men's sizing and fit profiles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions found inside the garment. Typically, this involves machine washing on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical cleaner to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. After washing, low-heat tumble drying can often help reactivate the water-repellency of the outer surface. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before hanging it in a closet to prevent mildew or fabric degradation.
