FAQs
Is this jacket completely windproof?
Yes, the AquaDry Membrane is engineered to be both waterproof and windproof, protecting you from cold gusts.
Can I use regular laundry detergent?
It is not recommended. Standard detergents contain additives that can clog the pores of the membrane and compromise breathability. Always use a dedicated technical gear wash.
How do I adjust the hood?
The jacket features an adjustable hood system; locate the toggles near the collar or back of the hood to pull them for a secure, customized fit.
Does this jacket have underarm vents?
The Lorton II relies on its high-performance breathable membrane for heat regulation rather than physical pit zips.
Are the seams waterproof?
Yes, the garment features fully taped seams to ensure complete protection at all joining points.
What does the 20,000mm waterproof rating mean?
This is a hydrostatic head test result, indicating the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 20,000mm column of water without leaking.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the jacket
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray before tumble drying on low heat.
Internal condensation buildup
While the jacket is breathable, extreme humidity or intensity may exceed capacity. Ensure your layering system is also breathable to allow moisture transport.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Lorton II, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear; avoid fabric softeners.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the H2OShield coating.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface, apply a high-quality DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to maintain the shape of the hood and shoulder seams.
