FAQs
What does '2-layer construction' mean?
It refers to the jacket having an outer fabric layer and an inner lining, with a breathable PU membrane laminated between them to provide waterproofness and breathability.
How do I adjust the hood effectively?
Use the three-way adjustment system: adjust the rear toggle for height, the front drawcords for circumference, and ensure the wired peak is positioned to shield your eyes from rain.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against wind and rain, but it is primarily a shell. For very cold weather, layering with insulating garments underneath is recommended.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed cold with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What is the Hydrostatic Head rating?
A Hydrostatic Head of 10,000mm indicates the fabric can withstand a column of water 10,000mm high before it begins to leak through, signifying good waterproof performance.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is instead soaking into the outer fabric. This typically depends on usage and environmental conditions, but often annually or bi-annually.
What is the benefit of a two-way front zip?
A two-way zip allows you to open the jacket from the top or bottom, offering flexibility for ventilation and ease of movement, especially when wearing a backpack or sitting down.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water-Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a suitable waterproofing treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or wax.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash according to care instructions. Check internal security pocket for any blockages.
Hood adjustment is not effective
Ensure all drawcords and toggles are properly threaded and functional. Check for any damage to the drawcords or the hood structure.
