FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for hiking in heavy rain?
Yes, the jacket provides waterproof protection and a longer length for coverage. For very intense hikes, consider layering with breathable fabrics as this jacket prioritizes waterproofing and wind resistance.
How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?
Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment when water no longer beads on the surface. Avoid using fabric conditioners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
Can I wear a thick fleece underneath this jacket?
Yes, the longer length and shell design allow for layering. It's recommended to wear a mid-layer like a fleece for warmth, as the shell itself is primarily for weather protection.
What is the advantage of the two-way front zip?
The two-way zip offers enhanced flexibility and ventilation. It allows you to open the zip from the bottom, which is useful for improving airflow or providing more freedom of movement when sitting or bending, without having to fully unzip the jacket from the top.
Does the jacket have a hood?
This product description does not specify if a hood is included. Please refer to product images or detailed specifications for hood information.
What colours are available?
This specific product is available in Brown. Other colours like Red are available in different product variants.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR product following the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before re-applying.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zip teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the teeth to help them glide smoothly.
Jacket feels damp inside after moderate activity.
While the jacket offers waterproof protection, it may not be highly breathable for intense activities. Ensure the ventilation provided by the two-way zip is utilized. Consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
