Product Information
Full details
The Viking Numani Jacket is designed for active women who require reliable protection during outdoor excursions in unpredictable weather. Featuring a high-performance 15000/15000 membrane, this jacket offers an excellent balance of waterproofing and breathability, making it ideal for trekking or casual daily wear in the rain. While it excels in technical performance, users should note that as a dedicated waterproof layer, it is best utilized as part of a modular layering system to accommodate varying temperature conditions.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?
The Numani is highly waterproof and windproof, making it a great shell, but you will need to wear adequate thermal base and mid-layers underneath for warmth.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild technical detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the design to provide maximum protection against the elements.
Is the jacket packable?
While not specifically marketed as ultra-lightweight, the material is thin enough to be rolled or packed into a hiking backpack without taking up significant space.
What does 15000/15000 mean?
It refers to the hydrostatic head (waterproofing) and the MVTR (breathability), indicating that the fabric can withstand high water pressure while effectively venting sweat.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a technical re-waterproofing spray to the outer shell and air dry.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to pull
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dust or grit, and if necessary, use a dedicated zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Viking Numani Jacket, avoid washing it with harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof membrane of its efficacy. It is recommended to use specialized technical fabric cleaners. Always hang the jacket to air dry rather than using a high-heat dryer. Because the fit is tailored, consider your intended mid-layer when choosing your size; if you plan to wear thick fleeces or down sweaters underneath, ensure you have sufficient room to move comfortably. Regularly inspect the SBS zippers and keep them free of debris to maintain smooth operation.
