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. It features a membrane with tiny pores that allow water vapor to escape while preventing liquid water from entering.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or hang to dry. Follow the care instructions for detailed steps.
How do I reactivate the DWR finish?
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting for about 20 minutes after washing. If that doesn't work, apply a DWR treatment following the product instructions.
What is the fit of the Kangri jacket?
The Kangri jacket has a regular fit, providing room for layering without being overly baggy.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The hand pockets feature YKK Aquaguard water-resistant zippers, offering protection against the elements.
What is the warranty on the jacket?
Warranty information can be found on the manufacturer's website. Please refer to Rab's official warranty details for more information.
Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Wash and re-proof the jacket with a GORE-TEX approved product. Check for damage and repair any tears or abrasions.
The hood doesn't stay in place.
Adjust the hood using the drawcords to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the wired peak is correctly positioned.
Zippers are difficult to operate.
Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant for smoother operation.
The jacket feels clammy inside.
Open the underarm zippers to increase ventilation. Adjust your layering system to better manage body heat and moisture.
