How do I adjust the sleeves?
The sleeves have snap fasteners that allow you to adjust the fit for comfort and to prevent wind entry.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable and can be secured or removed using the integrated drawcord adjusters and fasteners.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating good airflow to help manage moisture during physical activity.
What kind of weather is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for windy conditions and light to moderate rain, suitable for outdoor walks, commutes, and everyday wear in mixed weather.
How should I care for this jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a mild process, do not bleach, tumble dry on low, and iron on a low setting. Avoid dry cleaning and fabric softeners. Close zippers and fasteners before washing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is not repelling water effectively
Ensure the durable water repellent (DWR) finish is maintained. Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can impede the DWR properties. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary after washing and drying.
Hood is difficult to detach/attach
Check that all fasteners and snaps are properly aligned and fully engaged or disengaged. Ensure no debris is obstructing the mechanism.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residues that might block the membrane. Consider washing according to care instructions. Layering with moisture-wicking base layers can also improve internal comfort.
