No, it is a windshell with a water-repellent finish meant for light mist or brief showers, not sustained heavy rain.

Yes, it is designed with an athletic fit that can accommodate a lightweight fleece or base layer underneath.

It packs into its own chest pocket, resulting in a small pouch roughly the size of a pair of socks.

It is best used as a wind-blocking outer layer in combination with insulating layers; it provides no inherent warmth on its own.

The jacket should allow for full arm movement without pulling at the shoulders or lifting at the hem.

No, to maintain its ultra-lightweight and packable profile, it features only a single chest pocket.

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Tumble dry the garment on low heat to reactivate it or reapply a DWR spray treatment.

Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and gently clean the slider path with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris.
