FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the H2No Performance Standard 3L construction provides a complete wind barrier.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is designed as a shell. You can wear it in winter, but you will need to add insulating layers underneath for warmth.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the left handwarmer pocket inside out and fold the jacket into it, securing it with the internal loop.
What does '3L' stand for?
It refers to '3-Layer' construction, which bonds the waterproof membrane between a durable outer fabric and an interior lining for better longevity.
Is the hood helmet compatible?
The hood is designed for standard use, but the two-way adjustment allows you to cinch it down for a secure fit over a hat.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry low to reactivate, or apply a DWR spray treatment.
Zipper sticking or feeling gritty
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush and water to remove dirt or salt buildup that can impede the slider.
Condensation building up inside
Open the pit zips to increase airflow and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof capabilities, avoid storing it in compressed conditions for long periods. If the fabric begins to 'wet out'—meaning water no longer beads off the surface—it is time to reapply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. Machine wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably using a technical fabric cleaner. Tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the existing DWR treatment. Always keep the zippers clean of grit and dirt to ensure smooth operation, and store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
