FAQs
What is Gore-Tex?
Gore-Tex is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric designed to keep you dry and comfortable in various weather conditions.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproof the jacket when you notice the water is no longer beading off the surface. This typically depends on use and washing, but generally, once or twice a year.
Can I use regular detergent?
Use a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid detergents with fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the DWR coating.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is attached and is helmet-compatible.
What is the center back length?
The center back length for a medium size is 77cm.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester with a Gore-Tex membrane.
What activities is this jacket suitable for?

Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Re-apply DWR treatment. Check for any damage or tears in the fabric. Make sure the zips are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted.
The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Clean the jacket as per care instructions. Ensure the venting zips are open during activity to improve airflow.
