Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is water-repellent. It features an H2OShield finish that helps shed light rain, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to compress and stow into its own integrated stuff sack for compact storage.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

It provides mid-level insulation. For very cold conditions, it works best as part of a layering system under a shell.

What is the insulation made of?

It uses ThermoPro synthetic fibres which are engineered to mimic the properties of natural down.

Is the finish environmentally friendly?

Yes, the H2OShield finish is plant-based and fluorocarbon-free.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the outer fabric

The DWR finish may have worn off; tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate or apply a garment-safe DWR spray.

The jacket seems less 'fluffy' after unpacking

Give the jacket a thorough shake and hang it in a warm, dry area for a few hours to allow the synthetic fibres to regain their loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack for travel
  • Effective mid-level insulation for varied climates
  • Eco-friendly, fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment
  • Comfortable fit with elasticated hood binding
  • Synthetic fill performs well even in damp conditions

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rainfall
  • The fit is tailored and may require sizing up if layering heavily underneath
  • Lightweight outer fabric requires care around sharp surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because the jacket arrives ready-to-wear, no setup is required. To pack it, simply fold or stuff the jacket into its designated carry bag, pushing the air out to maximize compression. For maintenance, machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can compromise the H2OShield finish. To maintain the water-repellent properties over time, the jacket can be tumble dried on low heat or re-treated with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if water no longer beads on the surface.
