FAQs

Is the Lorton II jacket fully seam-sealed?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproof protection at all entry points.

Can I wear this jacket during winter?

Yes, it is designed for year-round use; however, it is a shell, so you should layer it with an insulating fleece or mid-layer in cold temperatures.

How do I know if the membrane is still working?

If water continues to bead off the surface and you remain dry during heavy rain, the membrane and DWR are functioning correctly.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 695g, balancing durability with packability.

Are the reflective logos effective?

Yes, the reflective logos are positioned to increase visibility during low-light conditions, such as dusk or dawn.

Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?

Yes, the hood is adjustable to provide a secure fit and better coverage against wind and rain.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh water-repellent treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Ensure you are using the jacket's breathability effectively by adjusting layering; avoid wearing non-breathable cotton base layers underneath.

Zippers feeling stiff or catching

Clean any debris or grit from the zipper tracks using a soft brush and consider using a silicone-free zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical garment cleaner. Do not use biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the H2OShield treatment and clog the membrane pores.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting if recommended by the care label, or hang-dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
  3. Re-treating: Over time, you will notice water stop beading on the surface. Apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the H2OShield finish.
  4. Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain its shape and avoid compression of the seams.
