FAQs

How do I wash my Rab Namche GTX Jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (30°C) with a technical cleaner. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.

How often should I re-apply the DWR treatment?

Re-apply DWR treatment when water stops beading on the jacket's surface.

Can I iron the jacket?

No, do not iron the jacket. The heat can damage the Gore-Tex membrane.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a technical cleaner specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics.

What if the zippers get stuck?

Apply zipper lubricant or wax to the zippers to ensure smooth operation.

Is the hood helmet compatible?

Yes, the Rab Namche GTX Jacket features a helmet-compatible hood.

Can I store the jacket in a compression sack?

It is best to store the jacket loosely. Long-term compression can damage the fabric and reduce its performance.

Troubleshooting

Check if the DWR treatment needs to be reapplied. Wash and re-proof the jacket following the care instructions.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or wax. Clean debris from the zipper teeth.

The hood doesn't fit properly.

Adjust the hood's drawcords to achieve a snug and comfortable fit.

The jacket feels too warm.

Adjust your layering system. Wear a lighter base layer or open the pit zips for ventilation.
