FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is waterproof with a 10,000mm water column and DWR treatment, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket might be necessary.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

Packable means the jacket can be folded down very small and stored inside one of its own pockets, making it extremely convenient to carry when not in use.

How do I determine my size?

The jacket is available in a range of adult sizes from XXS to XXL. Please refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or brand for specific measurements.

Can I wear this jacket in warmer weather?

Yes, due to its breathable fabric and ventilation features, it can be worn in warmer, breezy conditions where wind protection is needed, or as a light outer layer.

What is the benefit of recycled polyamide?

Using recycled polyamide conserves resources, reduces waste, and lowers the environmental impact compared to virgin polyamide production.

How should I care for the water-repellent finish?

To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, avoid fabric softeners during washing. If the repellency decreases, you can reapply a DWR treatment spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Is this jacket insulated?

No, this is a lightweight windbreaker designed for protection against wind and rain. It does not have insulation and is intended for layering.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully water-repellent

Ensure the DWR treatment is intact. If it has worn off, consider applying a specific textile waterproofing spray. Also, check that heat-taped seams are not damaged.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. You can then apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can occur if the breathability limits are exceeded during intense activity. Ensure the ventilation cut-out is not obstructed and that the garment is not overly layered underneath.

Jacket is difficult to fold into its pocket

Ensure the jacket is completely dry and as flat as possible before attempting to fold it. Experiment with different folding techniques to find one that works best for the compact storage.
