It provides a key benefit of superior weather protection through its 10,000mm waterproof rating and high breathability, ensuring you remain dry and comfortable during heavy rain or intense physical exertion.

FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for winter sports?
It provides excellent protection against wind and rain, but it is not insulated. You should wear a warm mid-layer or fleece underneath for winter activities.
How do I ensure I have the right fit?
The Strathbeg jacket is sized for standard adult fits. If you plan on layering heavy sweaters underneath, you may want to consider if your typical size allows for enough movement.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
Check the care label on your specific garment. Generally, low-heat tumble drying can help reactivate the DWR coating, but high heat may damage the waterproof membrane.
Is the hood detachable?
No, this jacket features a grown-on (fixed) hood designed to provide a secure seal against the elements.
What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?
This rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm tall column of water pressing against it before any leaks through, indicating strong protection for heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray according to the product instructions.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is likely caused by condensation due to over-exertion or lack of airflow. Ensure you are not wearing too many layers and allow for ventilation through the main zip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your DLX Strathbeg jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wash in cold water using a technical gear detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard fabric softeners as they can clog the fabric pores and ruin breathability.
- Storage: Store the jacket on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket into a tight space for extended periods, as this can degrade the waterproof coating.
- Re-proofing: Over time, if water stops beading on the surface, use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to restore the outer finish.
- Compatibility: This garment is designed as a standalone shell. It works seamlessly with mid-layer fleeces or thermal base layers for year-round utility.
