Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and commuters who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for unpredictable weather. It provides essential waterproof protection and breathability through integrated Storm Shield Technology, making it a versatile addition to any backpack. While it offers excellent portability, users should note that as a lightweight shell, it is designed for layering rather than providing heavy thermal insulation in extreme cold.

FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the nylon construction combined with the protective coating provides a strong barrier against wind chill.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is designed as a shell layer. It works well over a fleece or thermal base layer, but it does not provide insulation on its own.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a dedicated outdoor fabric cleaner, and avoid using heavy detergents or softeners.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features a fixed hood with a cord lock toggle system for an adjustable fit.
What happens if the fabric tears?
You can use a technical fabric repair patch designed for waterproof gear to seal small nicks or tears.
Can I fit this in a jacket pocket?
While it is compact, it is best stored in the included stuff sack to maintain its shape and ensure it is easy to find.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be reactivated; tumble dry on a low heat setting for 10-20 minutes or use a re-proofing spray.
Hood toggle is sticking
Gently rinse the toggle with warm water to remove grit or salt build-up and operate it several times to loosen the mechanism.
Jacket is wrinkled from storage
Hang the jacket on a coat hanger for a few hours in a well-ventilated area; the wrinkles will naturally drop out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Peter Storm Packable Jacket, ensure you use the included stuff sack for storage rather than crushing it into a tight space. When washing, follow the garment care label—typically, it is best to use a technical wash cleaner to maintain the waterproof coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the breathability and protective properties of the fabric. To keep the hood toggles functioning correctly, wipe away any mud or debris after a muddy hike.
