FAQs
Is the DLX Durand jacket fully waterproof?
It features a TPU membrane for high-level water resistance, but it is classified as a softshell and is best suited for light to moderate rain rather than prolonged downpours.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to hang-dry the jacket to protect the TPU membrane and the integrity of the fleece lining.
Does the hood provide enough coverage?
Yes, the hood is adjustable to ensure a snug fit that stays in place during windy conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It provides good insulation for cool weather, but for sub-zero temperatures, it is best worn as part of a layering system.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the standard apparel size chart and consider the clothing you plan to wear underneath, as this will affect the fit.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may be wearing off; re-apply a technical waterproofing spray.
Zip-off hood is difficult to attach or detach
Check the zipper track for fabric snags and ensure no dirt or grit is trapped in the teeth of the zipper.
Jacket feels damp on the inside
This is likely due to perspiration trapped inside. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers to improve overall breathability.
Pros and Cons

- Effective protection against light to moderate rain
- Versatile design suitable for trails and urban use

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the TPU membrane and the water-repellent treatment, wash the jacket on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild, technical-fabric detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the water-repellent coating. Always hang to dry away from direct heat sources. Because the hood is adjustable and zip-off, ensure the zipper is fully closed and the track is free of debris before detaching to prevent jamming. The jacket is designed for a standard adult male fit; it is recommended to wear base layers that complement the jacket's breathable polyester construction.
