Product Information
Full details
This Peter Storm Jacket is designed for adult males seeking reliable protection against the elements during outdoor activities like hiking or dog walking. Its key benefit is superb waterproof and breathable performance, ensuring comfort in wet conditions. A potential caveat is that while water-resistant, the pockets may not offer complete dryness in prolonged heavy downpours. This jacket features a two-layer stretch waterproof fabric, a PFC-free DWR coating, a fully adjustable hood with a wired peak, and adjustable cuffs and hem to seal out rain, making it a practical choice for unpredictable weather.

FAQs
What does WP and MVTR mean?
WP stands for Waterproof rating, measured in millimeters (mm). A higher number indicates greater water resistance. MVTR stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate, measured in g/m²/24hrs, indicating how much water vapor can pass through the fabric, signifying breathability.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket is designed for waterproof protection. For extreme cold, layering with insulating mid and base layers is recommended. The jacket itself provides wind and rain resistance, which helps in colder conditions when combined with appropriate thermal wear.
Can I wear a thick fleece under this jacket?
Yes, the regular fit is designed to accommodate layers. You can comfortably wear a fleece or other mid-layers underneath for added warmth, depending on the size you choose and the thickness of the layer.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and do not iron or dry clean. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry.
Are the pockets completely waterproof?
The pockets are described as water-resistant. This means they offer protection against light rain or splashes, but they are not designed to be submerged or keep contents completely dry in prolonged heavy downpours. Use a dry bag for sensitive items.
What is the benefit of the PFC-free DWR coating?
PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coatings provide water resistance without using perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment. This makes the jacket a more eco-conscious choice.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase receipt or the Peter Storm official website for details.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively
The DWR coating may need to be replenished. Wash the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a suitable PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment, following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before treatment.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt residue. You can also use a silicone-based zip lubricant or even a pencil graphite to help them run smoothly.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure all vents are open if applicable (though this model relies on fabric breathability). Check that the internal lining is clean, as dirt or oils can impede breathability. Wash the jacket following care instructions.
