FAQs
What does the 10000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 10000mm rating signifies that the fabric can withstand 10,000 millimeters of water in a vertical test, indicating good resistance to rain and wet conditions.
How breathable is this jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, meaning it allows 5000 grams of water vapor to pass through the fabric per square meter in a 24-hour period, offering decent breathability for active use.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection and is lightweight. For very cold weather, it is recommended to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Air dry away from direct heat.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the jacket's fabric treatment does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing but can be harmful to the environment.
What are the different pocket types?
The jacket features two chest pockets and two side pockets, all secured with zips for safe storage.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a 'Comfort' fit, designed to provide ease of movement and allow for layering without feeling restrictive.
How do I adjust the hood?
The hood features an adjustable drawstring, allowing you to tighten it around your head for a more secure and protective fit against wind and rain.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the jacket is not overly layered underneath. Check that the breathable membrane is not blocked by dirt; wash according to care instructions. Excessive sweating can also lead to internal moisture, even with breathable fabric.
Seams are leaking
Check if the seam tape is intact. If the tape is peeling or damaged, professional repair may be needed. Ensure all zippers are fully closed.
