FAQs
How do I pack the jacket into its stuff sack?
Ensure the jacket is dry. Starting from the hem, loosely roll or stuff the jacket into the integrated stuff sack until fully enclosed. Do not force it if it feels too tight.
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
This jacket is ideal for light to moderate rain and windy conditions. Its Storm Shield technology provides waterproofness and breathability, making it suitable for walking, festivals, and commuting in unpredictable weather.
Can I wear a thick jumper underneath?
The jacket is designed with a standard fit. You can wear a lighter fleece or sweater underneath for added warmth. A very thick jumper might restrict movement and reduce the jacket's overall comfort and effectiveness.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is fixed and features an adjustable cordlock toggle system for a secure fit.
How durable is the nylon material?
The 100% nylon 210T main fabric with a PU coating is designed for durability and resistance to wear and tear, suitable for regular use during outdoor activities.
What are the washing instructions?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Always close zippers before washing.
Does it come with a stuff sack?
Yes, the jacket is designed to be packable and conveniently stores within its own integrated stuff sack.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Check the PU coating for damage. Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if the coating is worn.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood adjustment toggle is loose
Check that the cordlock toggle is functioning correctly. If it's not gripping the cord, the toggle mechanism may need replacement.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur in humid conditions or during high exertion. Ensure the hood and hem are properly adjusted to allow for some ventilation. The jacket's breathability is effective within certain temperature and humidity ranges.
