FAQs

What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?

A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water in a vertical test without leaking. This offers good protection against moderate to heavy rain.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket itself provides wind and water resistance but minimal insulation. It is designed to be layered, so adding a warm fleece or down jacket underneath will make it suitable for colder temperatures.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.

Can I wear this jacket for high-intensity activities?

Yes, the jacket is breathable (3000g/m²/24hrs) and flexible, making it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities where staying dry from both external rain and internal sweat is important.

What type of pockets does it have?

It features one zipped chest pocket and two zipped side pockets, providing secure storage for your essentials.

How is the hood adjustable?

The hood is grown-on and features adjustable toggles, allowing you to tighten it around your face for a more secure fit in windy conditions.

Does the jacket have a specific coating for waterproofing?

The jacket utilizes a three-layer fabric construction with taped seams, which provides its waterproof properties. Periodic re-application of a DWR finish can help maintain the fabric's water repellency.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash using a specific technical wash and re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary. Check that all seams are intact.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.

Fabric feels clammy inside

Ensure you are wearing breathable base layers. Check the jacket's care label to confirm it has been washed and dried correctly to maintain breathability. Open zippers for ventilation.

Cuffs or hem are not securing properly

Check the touch fastening tabs on the cuffs for debris that might be preventing a secure closure. Ensure the drawcords for the hem are threaded correctly and tightened fully.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as outerwear and is compatible with various base and mid-layers. Its relaxed fit allows for layering without feeling restrictive.

Care Instructions:

  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
