Full details

While it offers excellent functionality, users should note that as a dedicated waterproof garment, it requires specific care to maintain the integrity of its water-resistant coating over time.

What does the 2000mm waterproof rating mean?

Yes, it features a concealed 3-piece hood that can be deployed when needed.

Can I fit my smartphone in the pockets?

Yes, the chest and internal pockets are designed to securely accommodate common personal items including most modern smartphones.

Is this suitable for heavy winter use?

What are the ethical certifications for this jacket?

This product is certified under Oeko-Tex Standard 100, BSCI, and Amfori, ensuring high standards for both safety and ethical manufacturing.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the fabric

The outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; consider applying a technical wash-in or spray-on re-proofer.

Moisture buildup inside the jacket

Ensure you are not over-layering with non-breathable fabrics, and check that the vents and zippers are adjusted to allow airflow during high-exertion activities.

Zippers feel stiff

Clear any debris or grit from the zipper tracks and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the jacket maintains its waterproof performance, proper care is essential. Always close all zips and secure the touch fastening tabs before laundering to prevent snagging. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof garments; avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the breathable coating. Air drying is recommended to maintain the fabric's integrity. For long-term storage, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation. The jacket is designed with a standard fit that accommodates mid-layer garments underneath comfortably.
