FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The Eaton jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light rain or mist. For prolonged exposure to heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket with taped seams would be more appropriate.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the Sealskinz sizing guide for accurate measurements. The jacket is designed for a running fit, so it should be snug but allow for movement. Consider your typical layering needs when choosing your size.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

This jacket is primarily designed for protection from the elements and breathability, not for insulation. In cold weather, layer it over warmer thermal clothing for added warmth.

How does the self-packable feature work?

The jacket can be folded and stuffed into a dedicated pouch located within the front chest pocket. This allows for compact storage when not in use.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is made from a highly breathable nylon fabric blend.

How often should I reapply the water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and washing. Generally, reapply a DWR treatment when you notice water is no longer beading up on the surface of the fabric, typically after several washes or significant wear.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is zipped up properly to utilize its breathability features. Check that the internal fabric is clean; dirt can sometimes impede breathability. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The water-repellent treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment. Ensure all seams and zippers are intact.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric around it is smooth and not bunched. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for general running and outdoor activities. It is compatible with other athletic wear, such as base layers and running shorts.

Care Instructions:
