FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and breathability. It provides a windproof layer but does not offer significant insulation. For very cold weather, layering with warm clothing underneath is recommended.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. This jacket is available in various sizes; ensure you check the provided dimensions to select the best fit for your body measurements.

Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity like running?

Yes, the jacket is breathable, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities where staying dry from both external rain and internal sweat is important.

What does 'waterproof' mean in this context?

It means the jacket's material and construction prevent water from penetrating through to the inside, keeping the wearer dry during rain or wet conditions. The breathability allows water vapor from inside the jacket to escape.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is generally recommended when you notice water no longer 'beading up' on the surface and instead soaking into the fabric. This can depend on usage frequency and environmental exposure, typically every few washes or after significant wear.

What is the difference between this jacket and a rain shell?

This jacket functions as a waterproof and breathable rain shell. It provides protection from the elements and is designed to be worn over other layers.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof.

Ensure the jacket is clean. Machine wash with a special technical wash detergent and re-proof using a suitable spray or wash-in treatment. Avoid fabric softeners and excessive heat during drying.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like a graphite pencil tip) to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.

Ensure all vents are open if present. Check if the inner lining is wet from perspiration; if so, the breathability may be overwhelmed by high exertion. Clean the jacket as per care instructions to ensure membranes are clear.
