FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features a TEXAPORE membrane with a 10,000mm hydrostatic head rating, which is considered fully waterproof for general outdoor use.
Can I wear this in the winter?
The jacket is windproof and waterproof, which makes it excellent for winter, but it is not insulated. You should layer it over a thermal jacket or fleece for warmth.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a technical detergent specifically for waterproof outdoor clothing and avoid fabric softeners, which can ruin the membrane.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
The jacket features a fixed hood designed to provide immediate protection from the elements without the need for manual adjustments.
Is the fabric heavy?
The jacket is constructed from durable polyester, offering a balance between lightweight comfort and long-term durability for outdoor adventures.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Apply a wash-in or spray-on re-waterproofing treatment.
Feeling damp inside despite no rain leaks
This is often due to internal condensation. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.
Dirt buildup on the exterior
Wipe down with a damp cloth or hand wash with mild technical soap to ensure the pores of the membrane remain clear for better breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform at its peak, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical detergent designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid using standard fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the membrane.
- Drying: Air dry the jacket in a shaded area. High heat from a tumble dryer can damage the adhesive seals.
- Layering: Wear the XL size comfortably over a base layer or a light fleece; avoid oversized sweaters that may restrict arm movement.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a dry closet to prevent creasing and to allow the fabric to breathe when not in use.
