FAQs
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the 3-layer Pertex Shield construction is fully windproof as well as waterproof.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is a shell jacket. It works perfectly for winter hiking if paired with appropriate insulating base and mid-layers.
Is the hood helmet-compatible?
The jacket features a two-way adjustable hood with a stiffened peak, designed to provide a secure fit over headwear.
How should I clean my jacket?
Use a specialized technical detergent and machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees Celsius.
Does it have pit zips?
The Firewall Light is designed for a minimalist, lightweight profile and focuses on fabric breathability rather than mechanical venting.
Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a technical DWR spray, then tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to pull
Clean the zipper tracks of any grit or debris using a soft brush, and apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.

- Excellent articulation for unrestricted movement

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rab Firewall Light, always wash the jacket in cool water with a technical cleaner designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry to reactivate the water-repellent finish. When storing, keep the jacket in a cool, dry place and ensure it is completely dry before folding to prevent fabric degradation.
