FAQs
Is this cagoule suitable for heavy rain?
The Peter Storm Packable Cagoule is designed to offer protection against wind and light to moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a more technically rated waterproof jacket might be more suitable.
How small does it pack down?
It is designed to be highly packable and folds down into a compact size, easily fitting into a pocket or small compartment of a backpack.
Can I wear this over a bulky jacket?
While designed to be worn as an outer layer, it is best suited to be worn over lighter layers like a t-shirt, base layer, or a light fleece. Wearing it over very bulky jackets may restrict movement.
What is the best way to clean the cagoule?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid ironing.
Is it breathable?
The cagoule offers basic breathability due to its Nylon material. For very high-intensity activities, some users may experience moisture buildup from perspiration.
What sizes are available?
This specific product listing is for size L. Other sizes such as S and XS are available in the Peter Storm Packable Cagoule range.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule feels damp inside after light rain
Ensure the seams are properly sealed and that the material's water-repellent treatment is still effective. Consider a reproofing treatment if needed. Also, check if the dampness is due to condensation from high exertion, as breathability may be limited.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth to improve glide. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Material appears to be losing its water repellency
Clean the garment according to the care instructions. If water no longer beads on the surface, apply a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the integrity of the Nylon fabric and its water-repellent properties, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat or ironing, which can damage the material.
- Reproofing: Periodically, consider using a water-repellent re-proofer spray or wash to refresh its waterproof capabilities, especially after frequent use or washing.
