FAQs
How do I pack the cagoule into its stuff sack?
Turn the cagoule inside out, fold it into a compact shape, and then place it into the provided stuff sack. Roll or push it in to minimize the packed size.
Is this jacket warm enough for cold weather?
This is primarily a waterproof and windproof shell layer. It is designed to protect you from the elements and can be layered over warmer clothing for insulation in colder temperatures.
Can I machine wash the cagoule?
Yes, you can machine wash the cagoule at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, and do not iron.
What does 'breathable' mean in the context of this jacket?
Breathable fabric allows perspiration vapor to escape from the inside of the jacket to the outside, helping to keep you dry and comfortable by preventing moisture build-up during physical activity.
How do I adjust the fit of the hood and hem?
Both the hood and the hem feature a cord lock system. Pull the cords to tighten the fit and press the lock mechanism to secure the adjustment, or release it to loosen.
What is the purpose of the storm flap?
The storm flap covers the central half-zip, providing an additional barrier against wind and rain penetration at the main opening of the jacket.
How many pockets does this cagoule have?
This cagoule features one large zipped pocket located on the front for storing essential items.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a graphite pencil or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using silicone-based lubricants.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.
Ensure the inside of the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions. Check that any vents or openings are not obstructed.
Cord lock system is not holding its position.
Ensure the cord is not frayed or damaged. If the lock mechanism itself is loose, it may need adjustment or replacement depending on the specific type of cord lock used.
