The hood can be neatly rolled up and secured within a compartment in the collar, usually with a zipper or hook-and-loop closure, keeping it out of sight when not needed.

This jacket is an uninsulated shell. While it provides excellent wind and rain protection, you will need to wear appropriate warm layers underneath to stay comfortable in cold temperatures.

Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) using a technical cleaner for waterproof fabrics, and then air dry. Avoid conventional detergents, fabric softeners, and tumble drying.

Info needed: Please refer to product images or packaging for details on pocket configuration.

The shell is 100% Nylon, and the lining is 100% Polyester. These materials are chosen for their durability, waterproofing, and breathability.

This often happens due to inadequate breathability for your activity level or improper layering. Ensure you're wearing breathable base layers, and check if the adjustable cuffs are cinched too tightly, restricting airflow. If worn during high exertion, even breathable fabrics can struggle to vent moisture fast enough.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might be compromised. Wash the jacket according to the care label, using a technical wash designed for waterproof garments. If the issue persists, consider re-applying a DWR spray or wash-in treatment specifically made for waterproof breathable fabrics.

Dirt or debris can accumulate in zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a small brush and mild soap. If it's still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone-based) or a pencil lead (graphite) to the teeth.
