Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is a versatile, hardwearing outerwear solution tailored for hikers, backpackers, and everyday commuters who need reliable weather protection. Its core benefit lies in the specialized Storm Shield technology, which provides a balance of waterproof protection and breathability, all contained in a lightweight design that packs down into its own stuff sack. While it excels in unpredictable climates, users should note that as a lightweight packable shell, it may require additional layering underneath during extreme cold temperatures to maintain warmth.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Storm Shield technology designed to keep you dry in rain, though it should be maintained with proper care to ensure the waterproof rating remains effective.
Can I fit a fleece under this jacket?
The jacket is designed to be a protective shell. It generally accommodates a mid-layer like a fleece, but check your size to ensure you have enough range of motion.
What should I do if the Velcro gets dirty?
Pick out any lint or debris from the Velcro hooks with a small brush or a comb to ensure it remains sticky and stays closed.
Is this jacket windproof?
Yes, the nylon construction and adjustable seals (cuffs and hem) make it highly effective at blocking wind chill.
Does it have an inside pocket?
No, the jacket features two external zippered hand pockets for storage.
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket is designed to be very compact and can easily fit into a standard daypack using the included stuff sack.
Troubleshooting
Water is starting to soak through the fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment designed for technical outerwear.
The cordlock toggles are sliding
Ensure the internal springs of the toggle are free of debris or grit; a quick rinse with warm water can often clear the mechanism.
Jacket feels damp inside
While breathable, the jacket can accumulate condensation if you are over-exerting yourself. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the longevity of your jacket, always ensure it is completely dry before folding it into the provided stuff sack to prevent odors or fabric degradation. When adjusting the hood or hem, use the cordlock toggles gently to avoid over-tensioning the drawstrings. For cleaning, machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the protective Storm Shield coating. Air drying is highly recommended over tumble drying to preserve the integrity of the nylon shell. If the water-repellency begins to fade after heavy usage, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment to restore its performance.
