FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter riding?
Yes, its longline design and layered construction make it well-suited for cooler, wet weather, though you may need to layer additional base layers underneath in freezing temperatures.
How do I attach or detach the hood?
The hood is designed to be easily removed via a simple attachment system located inside the collar area; check the interior snaps or zip line to detach.
Does the longline design hinder walking?
No, the rear gussets provide the necessary extra room for a natural stride.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is machine washable on a gentle cycle. Always follow the garment care label and avoid high heat.
Is the jacket fully windproof?
Yes, the 3-layer construction and storm flap over the front zipper provide an effective wind barrier.
What is the 10,000mm rating mean?
This refers to hydrostatic head testing, indicating the fabric can hold back 10,000mm of water pressure over 24 hours before leaking.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment to restore the beading effect.
Press studs are becoming difficult to snap shut
Check for debris or dried mud within the stud sockets and clear it out using a soft brush.
Jacket feels damp inside
If it is not raining, this may be trapped body heat. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the temperature to allow the breathable membrane to function effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's waterproof performance, wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, preferably using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish from the outer layer. Hang to air dry, and avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the taped seams or TPU lining. Ensure all press studs are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
