Arcteryx Squamish Hoody - Black - XL

No, it is wind-resistant and water-repellent, meaning it can handle light mist or brief showers, but it is not a dedicated rain shell.

It provides warmth primarily by blocking wind, which prevents evaporative heat loss. It does not provide significant insulation on its own.

The fit is designed to be slim for performance. It is best suited for layering over t-shirts, baselayers, or thin technical fleeces.

Locate the chest pocket, turn it inside out, and feed the rest of the jacket into it until fully compressed.

The StormHood features adjustment points to pull the fit tight to your head or helmet, ensuring it moves with you.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate it, or reapply a DWR spray treatment.

Ensure the internal fabric flap is clear of the zipper track. If it continues, clean any debris from the zipper teeth with a soft brush.
