FAQs
Is this cagoule suitable for heavy rain?
The cagoule offers waterproof protection with its PU coating and Storm Shield technology, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain. However, for prolonged exposure in extreme conditions, a more robust jacket might be necessary.
How do I know which size to order?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically available with product images or on the retailer's website. Measure your chest and length, and compare with the provided measurements. The cagoule is designed to be worn over other layers, so consider a slightly looser fit if needed.
Can I wear a backpack under this cagoule?
Yes, the cagoule is designed with a relaxed fit intended for layering. It should accommodate a daypack comfortably. For larger backpacks, the fit might be tighter, potentially affecting coverage.
What activities is this cagoule recommended for?
It is recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and everyday wear. Its lightweight and packable nature makes it ideal for any activity where unpredictable weather is a factor.
How do I clean the cagoule?
Machine wash at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Does it come with a stuff sack?
Yes, a stuff sack is included with the cagoule, making it easy to pack away and carry when not in use.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood features a drawcord with an adjustable stopper, allowing you to cinch it down for a secure and protective fit.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all zips and closures are fully fastened. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric or coating. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment if the fabric's water repellency has diminished.
Drawcord or cord lock is difficult to adjust.
Ensure the cord is not tangled or obstructed. Clean any dirt or debris from the cord and cord lock mechanism. If damaged, the cord may need replacement.
Pocket zipper is stiff or stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone lubricant or pencil graphite to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
Elastic cuffs have lost their elasticity.
This is a common issue with wear and tear. While not easily repairable, ensure the fit is still adequate for comfort and protection. For severe loss of elasticity, consider a replacement.
