FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter conditions?
It is an excellent waterproof shell, but it is not insulated. You should wear a warm fleece or synthetic puffer underneath for cold weather.
How do I wash the jacket without ruining the waterproofing?
Use a gentle cycle with a tech-wash soap. Do not bleach or dry clean the jacket as this can damage the waterproof membrane.
Is the hood removable?
No, the jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar for better weather sealing.
Does the jacket come in different sizes?
Yes, the Strathbeg is available in a variety of sizes from XS to XXL to accommodate different body types.
Can this be used for commuting?
Absolutely, its sleek design makes it perfect for outdoor work or daily commutes in rainy weather.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the surface fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be refreshed; use a specialized reproofing spray designed for technical shells.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers and adjust your exertion level to match the breathability capacity of the jacket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of your DLX Strathbeg jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash with mild detergents recommended for technical waterproof gear. Avoid using heavy fabric softeners that can clog the breathable pores of the fabric.
- Drying: Hang-dry the jacket in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the technical coatings.
- Compatibility: The lightweight polyester design is highly compatible with fleece mid-layers or technical baselayers, allowing you to build an effective modular clothing system for various weather conditions.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding or storing it in a closet to prevent mildew or long-term fabric degradation.
