FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it uses HELLY TECH Performance technology, which is fully waterproof and windproof while maintaining high breathability.
Does it come with a hood?
Yes, it features an integrated, protective hood designed to keep you dry in rainy conditions.
How do I pack the jacket into its own pocket?
Locate the designated hand pocket (usually marked by a double-sided zipper), turn the pocket inside out, and feed the entire jacket into it.
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
It is best suited for 3-season use. For extreme winter conditions, it is better used as a shell over an insulated mid-layer.
What does '2.5-layer' mean?
This refers to the fabric construction: an outer shell, a waterproof membrane, and a half-layer protective print on the inside, making it lighter and more packable than traditional 3-layer jackets.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, machine wash on a delicate cycle using technical outdoor soap.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the surface fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a DWR re-waterproofing spray to restore the water-beading effect.
Feels damp inside despite high breathability
Ensure your layering system is moisture-wicking. Avoid wearing cotton base layers, which trap sweat and negate the jacket's breathable performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Verglas Fastpack Jacket is ready for immediate use. For optimal performance, ensure the front zipper and hood drawstrings are adjusted to fit snugly over your mid-layers.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be worn over standard base layers or light fleeces. Avoid bulky parkas underneath to maintain the range of motion.
- Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Avoid heavy fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, use a low-heat, delicate setting to avoid damaging the waterproof coating.
- Storage: When stowed in its pocket, ensure the jacket is clean and dry to prevent moisture buildup or odor inside the fabric over long periods.
