FAQs

What is the warmth rating of this jacket?

The jacket has a warmth rating of 2, which indicates enhanced mid-level insulation suitable for cool to moderately cold weather.

Is this jacket waterproof or water-repellent?

The jacket features a H2OShield durable water-repellent finish, meaning it repels water and water-based stains but is not fully waterproof. It is suitable for light rain and drizzle.

How do I pack the jacket into its stow bag?

The jacket is designed to be rolled or folded and placed inside its integrated stow bag. The specific method may vary, but generally involves compressing the jacket into the smallest possible volume.

Can I use fabric softener when washing this jacket?

No, it is recommended not to use fabric softener when washing the jacket, as it can negatively affect the durable water-repellent finish.

What materials is the H2OShield finish made from?

The H2OShield finish is made from at least 50% plant-based materials and is PFAS compliant.

Is the jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?

While it offers good mid-level insulation, it is best suited for cool to moderate temperatures. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments would be recommended.

How do I maintain the water-repellent properties of the jacket?

To maintain water repellency, avoid fabric softeners, tumble dry on low heat after washing, and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically, especially after several washes.

Troubleshooting

Water repellency is decreasing.

Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before application, as dirt can hinder performance. Follow the instructions on the DWR product.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Consider layering with an additional thermal base layer or mid-layer for increased warmth, especially in colder temperatures. Ensure the jacket's insulation is not compressed.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a pencil lead (graphite) or a small amount of wax.

Jacket has a persistent odor.

Wash the jacket according to care instructions, using a small amount of baking soda in the wash cycle. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
