Product Information
Full details
This TOG24 Waterproof Jacket in Blue (Size S) is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection from rain and wind. Its key benefit is its packable design combined with 100% waterproof fabric and taped seams, ensuring you stay dry. A potential caveat is the quarter-zip neck, which may not suit everyone seeking a full-zip closure for maximum ventilation control. It features a breathable, windproof design with a mesh-lined body and taffeta-lined sleeves for comfort, retro styling with a quarter zip and kangaroo pocket, and adjustable hood and hem.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed to be windproof and waterproof, providing protection against the elements. For very cold conditions, it is best worn as an outer layer over insulating mid-layers. It does not have built-in insulation.
How do I know if I need to re-proof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, but instead soaks in, the DWR coating has likely worn off and needs re-applying.
Can I wear a fleece under this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer and fits comfortably over mid-layers like fleeces. The smooth taffeta in the sleeves aids in easy layering.
What does 'packaway' mean?
Packaway means the jacket is lightweight and designed to be folded or rolled up into a small size, making it easy to carry in a bag or backpack.
What is the warranty period?
The jacket comes with a one-year guarantee from TOG24.
How should I clean the mesh lining?
The entire jacket should be machine washed according to the care instructions. The mesh lining will be cleaned during the standard washing process.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable hood to help keep out draughts and improve protection from the elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels fully waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a specific re-proofing treatment designed for waterproof outerwear.
Water is seeping through seams.
The taped seams may be damaged. While minor damage can sometimes be repaired with seam sealer, significant damage may compromise the jacket's integrity.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that the hood and hem are adjusted to prevent drafts. If the clamminess persists, it may be due to high exertion levels or high external humidity. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax (like beeswax) specifically designed for zippers.
