Product Information
Full details
This Peter Storm Packable Jacket in Grey (Medium) is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection without the bulk. Its key benefit is exceptional dryness and wind resistance thanks to Storm Shield technology, making it ideal for outdoor activities. A minor consideration is that while waterproof, it's best suited for active use where breathability is important, rather than prolonged static exposure to heavy rain. Key features include a tough nylon outer, a fixed hood, secure zipped pockets, and a packable design.

FAQs
What is Storm Shield technology?
Storm Shield technology refers to the jacket's waterproof and wind-resistant fabric construction, designed to protect you from the elements while maintaining a degree of breathability.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C with liquid detergent, followed by a thorough rinse. Do not tumble dry; air dry instead.
Can I wear this in very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and water protection. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer with insulating clothing underneath.
What is the jacket made of?
The main fabric is 100% nylon 210T with a PU coating.
How do I store the jacket when I'm not using it?
It comes with a stuff sack for easy packing. For long-term storage, it's best to hang it loosely to allow the fabric to breathe.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the fixed hood features a cordlock toggle system to allow for an adjustable and secure fit.
What activities is this jacket recommended for?
It is recommended for walking, festivals, and commuting, as well as other general outdoor activities where weather protection is needed.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a new DWR treatment (spray-on or wash-in) as per the product instructions.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Allow to dry, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil.
Water appears to be leaking through seams.
Seam tape may be damaged. For minor leaks, a seam sealer can be applied. For significant damage, professional repair may be required.
Jacket feels clammy inside during activity.
This can occur with highly waterproof jackets during strenuous activity. Ensure the hem and cuffs are adjusted properly. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
Pros and Cons

- Highly packable and lightweight, ideal for travel and emergencies.

- Adjustable hood, hem, and elasticated cuffs ensure a secure and personalized fit.
- Practical features like zipped pockets add functionality.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Peter Storm Packable Jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and wear it. Ensure the hood cordlock, hem cordlock, and zipped pockets are secured before heading out.
Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general adult use and is compatible with layering underneath for added warmth in colder conditions. It pairs well with walking trousers, casual wear, and festival attire.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof properties and longevity:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C or 40°C (check the garment's care label for specific instructions). Use a small amount of liquid detergent.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly. It's recommended to do an extra rinse cycle to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Re-waterproofing: Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need refreshing. Use a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofer suitable for nylon and PU-coated fabrics following the product's instructions.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in its stuff sack to allow the fabric to breathe and maintain its performance.
