FAQs
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a technical shell designed for protection from wind and rain, not for primary thermal insulation.
Can I wear this in heavy downpours?
The Futurelight material is waterproof and designed to protect against wet weather, though it is ideal for high-exertion performance.
What does the 'Standard Fit' mean?
Standard fit refers to a cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, designed to accommodate comfortable movement and layering.
How do I clean the jacket?
Use a gentle cycle with technical outdoor gear detergent and tumble dry on low heat to maintain the waterproof performance.
Is it safe for night running?
Yes, it includes reflective heat transfer logos on the chest, shoulder, and sleeve to increase your visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water beading on the surface is decreasing over time.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reactivating. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to wash and heat-tumble dry, or apply a fresh DWR treatment.
Moisture buildup inside the jacket during high activity.
While the fabric is breathable, ensure you are not wearing too many insulating layers underneath. Adjusting your base layers can help the garment's moisture-wicking system function more effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the waterproof membrane, follow the manufacturer's care instructions, typically involving machine washing with a technical fabric cleaner and low-heat drying to maintain the water-repellent coating. This garment features a standard fit, making it compatible with mid-layer fleece or synthetic jackets for colder weather. When adjusting the hood, pull the cinch cord evenly to avoid uneven tension, and always ensure all zippers are fully closed before washing to prevent snagging.
