FAQs
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket is designed with adjustable features to ensure a snug fit around the head in windy conditions.
Can I use this for winter hiking?
Yes, but as it is a shell, you must wear a thermal base layer and an insulating mid-layer like a fleece or lightweight down jacket underneath.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for technical waterproof gear.
What is the map pocket size?
The O/S map pocket is designed to accommodate standard Ordnance Survey map sizes commonly used for hiking and navigation.
Does it have pit zips for ventilation?
The Ponsa focuses on a streamlined design and relies on the high breathability of the AquaDry Membrane fabric rather than mechanical vents.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a compatible DWR spray and heat-activate according to the spray manufacturer's instructions.
Feeling damp inside the jacket after intense activity.
While breathable, the membrane can be overwhelmed by extreme humidity or physical exertion. Try using a lighter base layer to improve moisture wicking away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the AquaDry Membrane, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. Wash the jacket on a cool, gentle cycle and hang it to dry. If you notice water no longer beading on the surface of the fabric, you may need to re-apply a DWR treatment. The jacket is designed to fit over standard base layers and thin fleece mid-layers. For sizing, the medium fit is tailored for a standard adult silhouette; if you prefer to wear heavy winter puffers underneath, consider if the jacket fit aligns with your intended layering system.
