FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket offers good waterproofing suitable for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, consider layering with additional waterproof gear or a jacket with a higher hydrostatic head rating.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to standard sizing charts for men's apparel. The jacket is designed to be worn as an outer layer, so consider if you plan to wear thick layers underneath. Available sizes range from XS to XXXXL.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C using a pure soap or specialist cleaner. Avoid using fabric conditioner or bleach. Always follow the specific care instructions provided.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

Packable means the jacket can be folded or rolled into a very small size, typically aided by an integrated or included stuff sack, making it easy to carry in a backpack or bag when not in use.

Does the jacket have a removable hood?

No, the jacket features a fixed hood with an adjustable cordlock toggle system and concealed stud closure.

What activities is this jacket recommended for?

It is recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and everyday wear. Its primary function is to provide weather protection.

How do I reactivate the water repellency?

After washing, tumble dry the jacket on a low heat for 20 minutes. Alternatively, iron it on a low heat setting with a protective towel. This process helps to restore the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer repelling water.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash and then tumble dry on low heat or iron on a low setting to reactivate the DWR. If needed, apply a re-proofer.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zips with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zip teeth and work the slider back and forth.

Jacket feels clammy inside despite no rain.

This can be due to internal condensation, especially during high activity. Ensure all vents are open and try to layer appropriately to manage moisture. The fabric's breathability might be reduced if the DWR is ineffective or the fabric is dirty.

Hood adjustment toggles are loose.

Check the cordlock toggle mechanism. If it's not holding the cord securely, you may need to replace the toggle. Ensure the cord is threaded correctly through the mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing to keep you dry in wet conditions.
  • Breathable fabric allows for comfort during physical activity.
  • Packable design with an included stuff sack for convenience.
  • Adjustable hood, cuffs, and hem for a personalized and secure fit.
  • Durable nylon construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • May be best suited for moderate rain and wind, not extreme weather.
  • The PU coating might reduce breathability over time if not cared for properly.
  • The XXXXL size might not be available in all color variants.
  • Limited insulation, making it more of a shell for layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and wear it. Ensure all zips are fully closed before use.

Compatibility: The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is designed as an outer shell. It can be worn over t-shirts, fleeces, or other mid-layers depending on the weather conditions. It is suitable for a range of activities including trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and general everyday wear.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C using a non-detergent pure soap or a specialist waterproof fabric cleaner. Do not use fabric conditioner or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all soap residue is removed.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang to dry and then iron on a low heat (one dot setting) with a towel placed between the iron and the jacket.
  4. Re-proofing: If the jacket's water repellency deteriorates significantly, consider applying a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer designed for waterproof garments.
