FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain, but it is not seam-sealed or intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I layer a heavy sweater under this?
The jacket features a standard fit. If you plan to wear thick, bulky layers, you may want to size up for a more comfortable fit.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this model features two external zippered side pockets for storage.
How do I adjust the fit at the bottom?
The jacket includes a bungee-adjustable hem; simply pull the toggle to cinch the hem closer to your body.
Is the hood removable?
No, the jacket features a fixed three-piece hood for consistent protection against the wind.
How do I keep the WindWall tech effective?
Keep the jacket clean. Dirt and oils can clog the fabric pores, so regular machine washing according to the label is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and consider applying a spray-on waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper feels stiff or catches.
Ensure no fabric is trapped in the track. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a small amount of beeswax or a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always follow the care label instructions. The garment is machine washable, but it is recommended to close all zippers before washing to protect the teeth. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the water-resistant coating over time. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to preserve the integrity of the fabric. Because of its standard fit, this jacket is compatible with most mid-weight mid-layers, though you may want to size up if you prefer wearing thick sweaters underneath.
