FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter use?

It is primarily a waterproof shell. It is excellent for winter if paired with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down.

Can I wash the Strathbeg in a washing machine?

Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for outdoor waterproof gear.

What do the 10,000mm and 5,000mvp ratings mean?

The 10,000mm rating measures water pressure resistance, while 5,000mvp refers to moisture vapour permeability (breathability).

Is the hood detachable?

No, the jacket features a grown-on (fixed) hood which is adjustable for a better fit.

What is the primary material used?

The jacket is constructed from durable, weather-resistant polyester.

Troubleshooting

Water starts soaking into the fabric surface

The outer DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a technical fabric re-proofing spray to restore water beading.

Feeling damp inside the jacket despite no rain entry

Ensure you are using breathable layers underneath; heavy cotton traps moisture, preventing the jacket's 5,000mvp breathability from working correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the DLX Strathbeg, proper care is essential. The jacket is designed with an adjustable hood, which should be tightened according to wind conditions to maintain a secure seal. For cleaning, follow the manufacturer's label instructions, generally recommending cool machine washing without heavy detergents that could compromise the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the breathable fabric. Periodically, the outer water-repellent coating may benefit from a specialized re-proofer to ensure water continues to bead off the surface effectively.
