Its key benefit is providing water-resistance and breathability with features like underarm vents for thermal regulation, making it ideal for hiking and climbing.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The jacket is designed for protection against light rain and wind during active outdoor pursuits, offering breathability and comfort.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
No, the jacket is water-resistant and best suited for light rain. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
The jacket provides wind resistance and some warmth, but for cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or down.
What does 'Softshell XPT' mean?
Softshell XPT refers to a type of fabric technology that provides a balance of stretch, breathability, water resistance, and wind protection, optimized for performance activities.
How do I use the underarm vents?
The underarm vents are zippers located beneath the arms. Unzip them to allow for increased airflow and ventilation when you start to overheat during physical activity.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24 hours, indicating its capacity to allow perspiration vapor to escape.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing over time
Wash the jacket using a technical wash designed for outdoor gear and re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions. Avoid fabric conditioners.
Jacket feels clammy or hot during activity
Open the underarm zips (pit zips) to increase ventilation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away from the skin.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a small amount of wax for smoother operation.
