FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 2000mm and a breathability rating of 2000g/m²/24hrs.
How do I find the right size?
Please refer to the sizing chart provided. Measurements are given in inches (e.g., XL: 47 in). It's recommended to measure your chest circumference and compare it to the chart.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket is designed for wet-weather wear and offers good protection with its waterproof finish and taped seams. However, for prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more suitable.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket is primarily designed for rain protection and is lightweight. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, layering a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece, underneath is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C with similar colours. Avoid bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat or line dry.
What does 'Grown On Hood' mean?
A 'grown on hood' is a hood that is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket during its construction, rather than being a separate piece that can be detached or added.
Does the jacket have pit zips for ventilation?
This specific model does not feature pit zips. Ventilation is managed through the full zip fastening and the breathable fabric.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean. Wash according to care instructions and consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for polyester.
Hood adjustment is loose
Check that the toggle adjuster on the hood is functioning correctly. Clean any debris that might be obstructing its movement.
Water seeping through seams
This could indicate wear on the taped seams. For minor issues, a seam sealant might help, but significant wear may reduce effectiveness.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
