Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is an essential outer layer designed for outdoor enthusiasts and commuters who need reliable, on-the-go protection against unpredictable weather. Engineered with Storm Shield Technology, this lightweight nylon jacket provides a waterproof and breathable barrier that keeps you dry without adding unnecessary bulk. While it excels at portability and ease of use, it is designed primarily as a secondary waterproof layer, meaning it may lack the insulation of a heavy-duty winter coat in extreme sub-zero temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash it, but it is recommended to use a mild, non-detergent soap and wash on a cool, gentle cycle.
Can I wear this in heavy snow?
It is designed as a waterproof shell for rain. While it works in snow, it lacks the thermal insulation for long-term protection in deep winter conditions.
Does it come with a storage bag?
Yes, the jacket includes a stuff sack designed specifically for easy packing and portability.
How do I adjust the hood?
Use the cord lock toggle system located on the hood to tighten or loosen the opening for a secure fit.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the integrated Storm Shield Technology is specifically designed to allow moisture vapor to escape while blocking liquid water from entering.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. Use a specialized waterproofing wash or spray-on treatment to restore performance.
Hood keeps falling down in wind
Ensure the cord lock toggle system at the rear of the hood is tightened properly to secure the hood around your head.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, proper care is essential. When the jacket is not in use, ensure it is completely dry before folding it into the provided stuff sack to prevent mold and unpleasant odors. To clean, use a gentle detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the PU coating and damage the waterproofing technology. Air dry the jacket naturally rather than tumble drying. For optimal compatibility, use this jacket as a 'shell' layer, wearing it over thermal base layers or light fleeces depending on the temperature.
