The Birchdale II is a waterproof shell, not an insulated jacket. It is designed to be worn over thermal mid-layers to provide warmth.

Yes, but use a technical liquid cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent and ensure it is on a gentle cycle.

It refers to the fabric's ability to resist water pressure and allow moisture vapor transmission, providing high-level protection for active pursuits.

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to ensure complete waterproof protection at all entry points.

No, the hood is a grown-on technical style, meaning it is permanently attached to the collar for better weather resistance.

Since this is a shell layer, choose a size that allows for at least one mid-layer underneath without restricting your arm movement.

Tighten the hood adjusters at the sides and back to secure the fit around your head.
