FAQs
What does H2No™ Performance Standard mean?
H2No™ Performance Standard is Patagonia's benchmark for waterproofness, breathability, and durability. It ensures the garment provides reliable protection against rain and wind while allowing body vapor to escape.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, the Torrentshell 3L Jacket is a shell layer and does not contain insulation. It is designed to be worn over other layers for warmth.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR finish?
If water no longer beads up on the fabric surface and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply or reactivate the DWR finish.
Can I wash this jacket with regular laundry detergent?
Yes, you can use a powdered or liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as they can damage the waterproof membrane and DWR coating.
What are PFCs/PFAS, and why is it important that this jacket is made without them?
PFCs (perfluorinated chemicals) and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals often used in DWR treatments that can be persistent in the environment. This jacket uses alternatives that are more environmentally friendly.
How does the self-stuffing pocket work?
The jacket can be folded and stuffed into the left handwarmer pocket. This pocket has an internal loop that allows you to clip it to a backpack or harness for easy carrying.
What is the weight of the jacket?
The jacket weighs 352 grams (12.4 ounces).
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may be worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment or tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing finish.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no external rain.
This could be due to internal moisture build-up from perspiration. Open the pit zips for increased ventilation.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. Avoid forcing it.
Seams appear to be leaking.
While unlikely with proper care, ensure seam tape is intact. Contact customer support if there is visible damage to seam sealing.
