FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
It features Climaproof technology to provide a protective barrier against rain and wind, keeping you dry in standard wet weather conditions.
Can I wear this for heavy rain?
It is designed for light-to-moderate rain. For heavy, prolonged downpours, professional-grade technical shells may offer more specialized protection.
Does it have pockets?
Yes, the jacket is designed with functional pockets for storing small essentials while on the move.
Is the material noisy when walking?
While it is more durable than a standard windbreaker, the polyester material is relatively quiet compared to heavy-duty rubberized raincoats.
How should I choose my size?
The jacket features a loose fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to consider sizing down, though the loose fit is intended for layering.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off; wash with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Zipper feels stiff or sticky
Check the internal storm flap for trapped fabric and wipe the zipper teeth clean of any debris or salt buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting to avoid damaging the technical fibers.
- Compatibility: The loose fit allows you to pair this jacket easily with fleece mid-layers or casual sportswear. To maintain water-repellency over time, consider using a specialized wash-in technical fabric restorer after extended use.
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it for long-term storage to prevent mold or odors.
