FAQs
What is the main material of this jacket?
The jacket is made from 100% nylon (210T main fabric) with a PU coating for waterproofing.

The jacket comes with its own stuff sack. Simply gather the jacket and stuff it into the provided pouch until it is compact and easy to carry.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
This jacket is designed for waterproof protection, suitable for moderate to light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours or extreme weather, a more robust, expedition-grade jacket might be necessary.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
The jacket features two zippered hand pockets for secure storage of essentials.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is adjustable with a cordlock toggle system and a concealed stud closure to ensure a secure and protective fit.
What activities is this jacket best suited for?
It is ideal for trekking, hiking, backpacking, traveling, and everyday wear in wet or windy conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with similar colours. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning. Close zippers before washing.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the teeth.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose
While the cuffs are designed for comfort, excessive stretching may occur with prolonged wear. Ensure they are not caught on sharp objects. The jacket's primary function is weather protection, and cuff elasticity may diminish over time.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This jacket provides waterproof protection but may not offer high breathability. For strenuous activities that generate a lot of body heat, consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers and opening the jacket when possible to ventilate.
