FAQs
Is this jacket truly waterproof?
Yes, it is fully seam-sealed and features a 5K-rated waterproof membrane, making it highly effective for standard rainy rides.
Can I wear this jacket for other sports?
While optimized for MTB, its lightweight and breathable nature makes it versatile for hiking or commuting in wet weather.
Does the jacket pack into its own pocket?
The jacket is highly packable due to its 2.5-layer construction, though it does not have a dedicated 'stuff pocket' feature.
How should I clean mud off the jacket?
Allow the mud to dry and brush it off, or rinse with cold water. Avoid scrubbing hard as it may damage the water-repellent coating.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester fabric is designed to be lightweight and durable, providing a standard fit that allows for typical cycling movement.
Troubleshooting
Water no longer beads on the surface of the fabric.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on technical DWR treatment.
Feeling damp inside despite the jacket being waterproof.
This is often due to moisture build-up from perspiration. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking materials rather than cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines. For fitting, the jacket is designed as a performance layer, so if you plan to wear thick base layers underneath, consider how the sizing affects your mobility. The hood is designed to be worn over standard MTB helmets, so pull the adjustment cords once the hood is in place for a secure fit. For care, machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water using a technical fabric cleanser. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR finish. Air dry the garment away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproof membrane. If water stops beading on the surface over time, you can apply a standard DWR spray-on treatment to restore its performance.
