FAQs

What does '3-layer DryVent' mean?

It refers to a fabric technology that uses three distinct layers bonded together. This construction provides a durable, waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer shell for reliable weather protection.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The jacket provides excellent wind and rain protection, but it is primarily an outer shell. For very cold weather, layering with insulating mid-layers like fleece or down is recommended.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment following the product's specific instructions.

Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity like trail running?

Yes, the jacket is designed to be breathable and features underarm vents to help manage heat during strenuous activities. However, for very high-intensity activities, personal preference for ventilation may vary.

What are the dimensions of the chest pockets?

Specific dimensions for the chest pockets are not provided, but they are designed to securely hold items like a smartphone or a map.

How does the 'Standard fit' differ from an athletic fit?

A standard fit is designed for a comfortable, true-to-size wear that allows for easy layering. An athletic fit is typically more tailored and streamlined, designed for maximum mobility with minimal excess fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Ensure the DWR (durable water repellent) finish is intact. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary. Check seams for damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the underarm vents are open when active. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability.

Fit is too loose.

Utilize the internal hem drawcord and hook-and-loop cuff adjustments to cinch the fit more snugly.
