Product Information
Full details
The DLX Strathbeg Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and campers who require reliable protection against wet weather. It excels by providing a high 10,000mm waterproof rating and breathable fabric to keep you dry both from external rain and internal perspiration. While highly functional for varied environments, users should note that as a lightweight performance piece, it is designed primarily for layering rather than providing heavy insulation in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter?
It is a waterproof shell. It is excellent for wet winter days when layered with a warm fleece or down jacket, but it does not provide insulation on its own.
How do I ensure the best fit?
The jacket is designed for an active fit. If you plan to wear thick sweaters underneath, you may want to ensure you have enough room for layering while keeping the sleeves at a comfortable length.
What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before moisture begins to penetrate, which is sufficient for heavy rain.
Can I put this in the dryer?
Always check the internal garment tag. Many waterproof jackets benefit from a short, low-heat cycle to reactivate the water-repellent coating, but excessive heat can damage the technical materials.
Is the hood removable?
No, the Strathbeg features a grown-on (fixed) hood, which provides better protection against wind and rain entry.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated; tumble dry the jacket on a low, cool setting if allowed by the care label, or apply a re-proofing spray.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket during use
Check your layering system; ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath, which trap sweat.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the Strathbeg Jacket, shake off excess water after use and allow the garment to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct heat sources like radiators. For cleaning, follow the manufacturer's care label on the internal seam; typically, this involves a gentle machine wash cycle with technical-grade detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can strip the specialized waterproof coating. Store the jacket on a hanger to maintain its shape and ensure the zippers are kept free of dirt and debris to maintain smooth operation.
