FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Valley View Jacket is ideal for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor activities where protection from rain and wind is needed.

How does the DryVent™ fabric work?

DryVent™ is a waterproof, breathable technology that uses a PU coating to allow water vapor to escape from the inside while preventing liquid water from entering, keeping you dry from both rain and sweat.

Can I wear a warm layer underneath?

Yes, the standard fit is designed to accommodate layering. You can wear a fleece or insulated jacket underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood is attached and adjustable. Look for drawcords or toggles around the hood opening to cinch it for a closer fit.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The hand pockets feature secure zips, and the chest pockets are zippered, designed to protect contents from rain. However, it is always recommended to use a waterproof bag for sensitive electronics.

What is the DWR treatment?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping maintain the fabric's breathability and preventing it from becoming saturated.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it in a compressed state for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane and DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Jacket seems to be losing its waterproofness.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR treatment spray suitable for technical outerwear.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Ensure zippers are clean. Gently run a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Venting zips are catching on the fabric.

Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth while operating the zip. Ensure no loose threads are interfering with the zipper mechanism.
