Product Information

Full details

The Mac In a Sac Origin 2 Adult Waterproof Jacket in Red (XL) is designed for adults seeking reliable protection from the elements during outdoor activities. Its key benefit is being lightweight and highly packable, ensuring you're always prepared for unexpected weather changes. A potential caveat is that while highly waterproof and breathable, it's best suited for moderate to heavy rain rather than prolonged extreme downpours. This jacket offers excellent water resistance, breathability, and windproof features in a compact design.

What is the weight of the jacket?

Is this jacket suitable for children?

What care is needed to maintain waterproofing?

Machine wash at 40°C with liquid detergent and tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to re-proof the jacket after washing to maintain its performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water.

Ensure all seams are fully taped and the water repellent zip is functioning correctly. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment and consider using a technical wash. Check that the jacket has not been damaged.

Reduced breathability.

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Residue from detergents or dirt can block pores. Ensure the back vent is not obstructed.

Hood does not fit securely.

Adjust the internal drawcord and toggle at the front of the hood to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the hood is properly unfolded from its concealed pocket.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can happen in very high humidity or during intense activity. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and that the jacket's breathability features (like the back vent) are unimpeded.
