FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is designed for waterproof and windproof protection. It does not provide significant insulation on its own and is best used as an outer shell for layering in colder temperatures.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
If water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric's surface, and instead soaks in, it's time to re-waterproof. You can test this by sprinkling a little water on the fabric.
What is the main difference between this and a 'rain suit'?
This is a jacket designed to protect from rain and wind. A rain suit typically includes both a jacket and trousers for full-body protection.
Can I wear this jacket over a down jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be worn over a down jacket for added protection against rain and wind. Its design allows for layering.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a tightly compressed state for long periods, as this can affect the fabric's performance. Hanging is ideal.
What does CLIMAPROOF mean?
CLIMAPROOF is adidas's technology that provides protection from wind and rain while allowing the fabric to breathe, keeping you dry and comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and apply a DWR re-waterproofing treatment. Ensure you are not using fabric softener during washing.
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy activity.
While the jacket is breathable, extreme exertion can still lead to internal moisture. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and consider if the internal layer of clothing is wicking sweat effectively.
Zipper is 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 tracks.
Elastic drawcord is not tightening properly.
Check the cord lock mechanism for any obstructions. Ensure the cord itself is not frayed or damaged. If damaged, the cord may need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. It is compatible with various athletic and casual wear. To maintain its waterproof and breathable properties, care instructions are crucial:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a delicate cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the fabric's performance.
- Re-waterproofing: Periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-waterproofing treatment according to the product's instructions. This can often be done during the washing cycle or as a spray treatment.
