FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter fishing?
Yes, but because it is a shell, you will need to wear thermal base layers and a fleece mid-layer underneath for insulation.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
It is recommended to hand wash or use a delicate cycle with a technical garment cleanser to avoid damaging the waterproof PU coating.
What does the 10,000mm rating mean?
It indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before moisture starts to penetrate, confirming high-level waterproof protection.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is detachable, providing flexibility based on your preference and the severity of the weather.
Does it have internal pockets?
The primary storage is provided by the external waterproof zipped chest and front pockets, which are designed to keep items secure and dry.
Is the sizing true to size?
The jacket follows standard adult sizing. If you plan to wear heavy bulky layers underneath, consider sizing up.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated; tumble dry on a low heat setting for 10-15 minutes or apply a spray-on waterproofing treatment.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; the jacket breathes best when the temperature differential between the inside and outside is managed through proper layering.
Stiff or sticky waterproof zippers
Gently clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dirt or dried mud, then apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for waterproof gear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, avoid using harsh detergents that can strip the protective PU coating. Always zip all pockets closed before washing. If the garment is soiled, rinse it with cool water and use a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Air dry the jacket in a shaded area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof membrane. The jacket is designed with an ergonomic fit, but for the best comfort, we recommend layering base and mid-layers underneath to accommodate your specific climate needs.
