FAQs
What is the hydrostatic head rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a hydrostatic head rating of 15,000mm, indicating a high level of waterproof protection.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold temperatures?
This is a softshell jacket, designed primarily for protection against wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer a warm insulating jacket underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are zipped for secure storage, designed to keep contents protected from wind and light rain. They are not submersible.
What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?
Articulated sleeves are designed with extra seams and shaping to allow for a greater range of natural movement in the arms and shoulders, enhancing comfort and flexibility during activity.
Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity sports?
While flexible and protective, softshell jackets can vary in breathability. For very high-intensity activities where extreme breathability is paramount, consider a dedicated shell jacket. This jacket is excellent for moderate outdoor activities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a re-waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment, then tumble dry on low heat to reactivate.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to dry, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.
Fit is too loose around the hem
Adjust the shockcord hem. Pull the toggle to tighten the cord and create a snugger fit, preventing wind entry.
