Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a 2000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, which makes it suitable for light to moderate rain showers.
How do I pack the jacket away?
The jacket is designed to be folded or stuffed into itself or a small integrated pocket; ensure it is dry before packing to avoid musty smells.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
Yes, it functions well as a wind-breaking outer shell, but you will need to wear insulating layers underneath as it is not a thermal garment.
What is the best way to clean it?
Use a gentle cycle with a specialized tech wash, or hand wash with mild soap and hang it to dry away from direct heat.
Is the hood detachable?
The hood is not detachable but can be folded neatly and packed away into the collar when not needed.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR finish has likely worn off; re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent properties.
The jacket feels damp inside
This is often caused by trapped body heat; try layering with moisture-wicking synthetic base layers rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the life of your jacket, avoid heavy machine washing with harsh detergents, as this can strip the DWR finish over time. If the jacket becomes dirty, use a specialized technical wash or a mild soap, and allow it to air dry completely before packing it away. Always ensure the jacket is fully dry before folding it into its storage state to prevent odor or mildew buildup. When adjusting the hood, use the drawstrings to cinch it close to the face to prevent wind from blowing it off in exposed areas.
