The jacket has a high waterproof rating of 10,000mm, making it suitable for significant rain. However, for extreme, non-stop downpours, additional layers or a more heavy-duty jacket might be considered, though this jacket offers excellent performance for its weight and packability.
The jacket features unisex sizing. It is highly recommended to consult the brand's specific sizing chart, which typically provides measurements for chest, waist, and length, to ensure you select the most accurate fit.
The jacket is designed to be lightweight and packable, typically worn over a base layer or a light fleece. While you can layer over a jumper, it may affect the fit and comfort, and reduce the jacket's breathability benefits. It's best suited for layering with lighter mid-layers.
This means the jacket was manufactured without perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which are chemicals often used in waterproof coatings but are considered harmful to the environment and health. It signifies a more eco-friendly production process.
The jacket is designed to be highly packable and can be stowed away into a rucksack, handbag, or car boot. While an exact packed size isn't specified, expect it to be roughly the size of a small wallet or a rolled-up t-shirt, making it very portable.
The Origin 2 jacket does not feature pit zips. However, it does include updated back venting to enhance breathability, especially during more active pursuits.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. The water repellency treatment may need refreshing. Consider using a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can help.
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that the back vent is open.
Ensure the toggle on the drawcord is fully tightened. If the drawcord appears worn, it may need replacing.
Setup:
This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Ensure the hood is adjusted using the drawcord and toggle for a secure fit.
Compatibility:
The Origin 2 jacket is unisex and designed to fit most adults. Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer to select the correct size. It is compatible with various outdoor activities and can be layered over lighter clothing. Its packable nature makes it compatible with almost any bag or storage space.
