Full details

Its key benefit is providing hardwearing, waterproof, and breathable coverage that packs down small.

FAQs
What type of activities is this cagoule best suited for?
It is ideal for trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and everyday wear where protection from rain and wind is needed without excessive bulk.
Is the cagoule fully waterproof or water-resistant?
The cagoule is designed to be waterproof, featuring a PU coating on the 100% nylon 210T fabric and a stormflap over the main zip.
How do I clean the cagoule?
You can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener. Do not tumble dry; hang it to air dry.
Can I wear this over a thick jacket?
While it can be worn over lighter layers, it is designed primarily as a lightweight shell. Wearing it over very thick or bulky insulation may restrict movement and the effectiveness of the fit.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features an integrated hood with a drawcord for adjustable wet weather protection.
What are the pocket arrangements?
There is one zipped pocket located under the welt, ideal for securing essential small items.
What material is the cagoule made from?
It is made from 100% nylon 210T with a PU coating.
Does it come with a storage bag?
Yes, it includes a stuff sack for easy storage and portability when not in use.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is no longer waterproof
The PU coating may have worn down. Clean the cagoule thoroughly and apply a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment. Ensure you follow the reproofing product's instructions carefully.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily products.
Elasticated cuffs are losing their stretch
This is natural wear over time. Ensure the cuffs are clean. While stretch cannot be restored, proper care can prolong their effectiveness.
Cagoule feels clammy inside
Ensure you are not overheating. The breathable technology works best when there is a temperature differential. Check that vents (if any) are open and consider wearing fewer layers underneath. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog pores.
