Full details

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to close

Clean any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always close all zippers and flaps before washing. Use a technical detergent suitable for waterproof membranes to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. The internal suspension loop allows you to hang the jacket easily in mudrooms or lockers. For long-term storage, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard layering; if you require extra warmth, consider adding a thin fleece underneath, but note that the tailored fit works best with light to medium layers.
