Product Information

Full details

This jacket is designed for outdoor enthusiasts and travelers seeking reliable weather protection in a compact form. Its key benefit is its fully waterproof and breathable AquaDry fabric, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable in wet conditions. A potential caveat is its focus on core weather protection, meaning it may lack some of the advanced features found in more specialized or insulated jackets. Key features include waterproof/wind-resistant construction, breathability, and packability into its own pocket.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket offers wind resistance and waterproof protection, but it is not insulated. For extreme cold, it's recommended to layer warm clothing underneath.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild, non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

How does the packable feature work?

The jacket can be folded and stuffed into one of its own zipped pockets, transforming it into a compact pouch for easy storage and transport.

What does 'fully taped seams' mean?

It means that the stitching lines on the inside of the jacket are covered with a waterproof tape. This prevents water from leaking through the needle holes.

How often should I re-apply the DWR coating?

Re-apply the DWR coating when you notice water is no longer beading up on the fabric surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the breathable fabric is designed to manage moisture during moderate to high-intensity activities. However, intense exertion in very humid conditions might still lead to some internal dampness.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and that no water has seeped through the main zipper. Check if the breathability is overwhelmed by intense activity; consider venting by slightly unzipping.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow care instructions to wash and then re-apply a DWR treatment to restore water repellency.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zippers with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax designed for zippers. Ensure no dirt or debris is caught in the zipper teeth.

Jacket smells after use.

Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
