FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

This jacket is lightweight and designed for breathability and waterproof protection. While it can be layered with insulating clothing, it may not provide sufficient warmth on its own in extreme cold conditions.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. A reproofing treatment can help restore water repellency.

What does 'Breathe Easy' refer to?

'Breathe Easy' refers to the jacket's breathable fabric and underarm ventilation zips, which are designed to allow moisture vapor to escape and regulate body temperature, keeping you comfortable during activity.

Can I wear this jacket for activities other than hiking?

Yes, the jacket's waterproof and windproof features make it suitable for various outdoor activities such as walking, trekking, camping, or even everyday use in inclement weather.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from polyester, which is known for its durability, quick-drying properties, and resistance to wear and tear.

What are the benefits of the underarm ventilation zips?

The underarm ventilation zips allow you to quickly adjust your body temperature by releasing excess heat when you start to feel warm during physical activity, enhancing overall comfort.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof or breathable.

This can happen as dirt and oils build up. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions using a technical wash cleaner. Consider applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for waterproof outerwear after washing and drying to restore performance.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to help them slide more smoothly.

Underarm vents are not staying open or closed.

Ensure the zipper sliders are fully engaged and that there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If the issue persists, the zipper mechanism may be worn and require repair or replacement.
