FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket is designed to be 100% waterproof, featuring fully taped seams and UA Storm technology, not just water-resistant.

How does the 10k/10k rating translate to performance?

A 10k/10k rating means the fabric can withstand 10,000mm of water pressure before leaking and allows 10,000g of moisture vapor to pass through per square meter in 24 hours, indicating good waterproofing and breathability.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, it is designed for layering. Wear it over a base layer and fleece or insulated mid-layer for warmth in colder conditions.

What does 'fluorine-free water repellent treatment' mean?

It means the water-repellent finish does not use perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), which are often referred to as 'forever chemicals' and can have environmental impacts. This is a more eco-friendly approach.

Does the jacket have a hood?

Yes, it features an adjustable hood with a bungee cord for a customized fit.

What material is the jacket made of?

The main body is made from 100% Polyester, with at least 90% of this being recycled polyester (excluding trims and embellishments).

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use non-chlorine bleach if needed, and tumble dry low. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning, as these can damage the waterproof and breathable properties.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through seams.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the jacket has not been excessively abraded. Re-evaluate care instructions, especially avoiding fabric softeners.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can indicate high internal moisture buildup. Ensure the jacket is zipped up to allow the breathable membrane to function. Consider wearing fewer insulating layers underneath if the external temperature doesn't warrant them.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (pencil lead) or wax to the teeth.

Water repellency seems reduced.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. After washing and drying on low heat, you can reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low for 20-30 minutes. For a more thorough restoration, consider a DWR re-treatment spray available at outdoor retailers.
