FAQs
What does '15000mm waterproof rating' mean?
A 15000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a column of water 15,000 millimeters high before leaking. This indicates a high level of waterproofing suitable for heavy rain.
What does '15000g/m²/24hrs breathability' mean?
This rating signifies that 15,000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. It indicates good breathability, helping to manage moisture from within during activity.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided. The jacket has a snug fit. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up. Measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart.
Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce its breathability and waterproof properties.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For very cold temperatures, it is best used as an outer shell layered over warm thermal base layers and insulating mid-layers.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can damage the fabric's performance. Hanging it is ideal.
What does 'Made from Recycled Materials' mean for this jacket?
This jacket is constructed using polyester derived from recycled plastic sources, such as PET bottles. This process reduces waste and lowers the demand for new raw materials.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.
Water seems to be leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, the factory taping may be damaged, and professional repair might be necessary.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
While breathable, heavy exertion can produce more moisture than the fabric can vent. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and consider unzipping the jacket for ventilation.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow it to dry. You can apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers.
