Full details

Engineered with high-stretch, waterproof Isotex 20000 fabric, this jacket provides an excellent balance of moisture protection and breathability for long hikes and daily walks. While it offers superior technical features like articulated sleeves and a specialized hood, users should note that the performance-focused design is best suited for active layering rather than extreme heavy-duty insulation.

FAQs

Is the Birchdale II fully waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with Isotex 20000 fabric and taped seams, providing a high level of waterproof protection against rain.

Can I wear this in the snow?

The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection for snow, but you should layer underneath with thermal clothing to maintain warmth.

How do I adjust the hood?

The VisionAlign hood features integrated adjustment points that allow you to cinch it securely to follow your head movements.

Does this jacket have pockets?

Yes, it includes external water-repellent zipped pockets and an internal security pocket for your essentials.

How should I wash my jacket?

Use a specialized technical cleaner in a cold, gentle machine cycle. Do not bleach or dry clean.

Is the fabric noisy like other waterproof coats?

The stretch-fabric construction is designed to be quieter and more flexible than traditional, rigid waterproof shell materials.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking through the outer fabric

The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofer.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

This is often caused by condensation from excessive sweat. Ensure your base layers are breathable and not overly bulky.

Zip is sticking

Check the track for debris or fabric caught in the zip. Gently clean with a soft brush and ensure the track is clear of obstructions.

  • VisionAlign hood design ensures safety by preventing tunnel vision

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear a moisture-wicking base layer underneath to maximize the breathability performance of the Isotex fabric.
  2. Adjustments: Always secure the hem drawcord and adjust the cuffs to seal out wind and moisture before heading into a storm.
  3. Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and ruin water repellency.
  4. Re-proofing: If you notice water no longer beads off the surface, use a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore the exterior finish.
