The Origin II jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. While it can be layered over warmer clothing, it does not provide significant insulation on its own. It's best suited for mild to cool conditions, or for active use where body heat is generated.
Water needs to bead up and roll off the fabric. If water starts to soak into the fabric (the material darkens and gets wet), it's a sign that the DWR treatment has worn off and needs to be reapplied.
Yes, the jacket's high breathability rating (8,000 gsm) makes it suitable for many active pursuits. The rear ventilation also helps manage heat buildup during strenuous activity.
This means the jacket has been manufactured without the use of certain chemicals (Perfluorinated compounds and Perfluorooctanoic acid) that are often used in waterproof coatings but can be harmful to the environment and health.
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. While it is packable, avoid long-term storage in a tightly compressed state, as this can potentially affect the fabric's performance over time. Hanging is ideal.
Waterproof materials can withstand a significant amount of water pressure without leaking, typically measured in millimeters (e.g., 10,000 mm). Water-resistant materials offer some protection against light moisture but will eventually let water through under prolonged exposure or pressure.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check the DWR coating; if water is soaking into the fabric, it may need re-proofing. Also, verify the main zip is fully closed.
Check that the ventilation areas are not blocked. Wash the jacket with a technical fabric wash and avoid fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR treatment.
Ensure the jacket is not being exposed to excessive heat during drying. Wash with a mild detergent and air dry. Avoid ironing.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
Setup: The Origin II jacket requires no specific setup. Simply unpack and wear. The hood can be adjusted using its internal drawstring, and the hem can be tightened for a snugger fit. The front zip is designed to be water-resistant.
Compatibility: This is a unisex garment, available in adult sizes. It is designed to be worn as an outer layer over other clothing. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and movement.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance:
