FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The Routeburn is water-resistant, making it perfect for light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is best used as a breathable mid-layer in winter, but you will likely need a heavier insulated jacket over it in freezing temperatures.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the jacket was manufactured without using perfluorinated compounds, which are often used for waterproofing but are harmful to the environment.
How do I choose the right size?
This model is designed for a standard active fit. Refer to the size M specifications for typical adult female sizing, ensuring room for base layers underneath.
Where are the pockets located?
The jacket features one zippered chest pocket and two zippered hand-warmer pockets at the front.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish may have worn off; apply a technical garment re-waterproofing spray.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or lint and apply a specialized zipper lubricant if necessary.
Drawstring not holding tension
Check the cord lock for debris and ensure the drawstring is threaded correctly through the housing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always consult the internal care label. Generally, this nylon softshell should be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the wind-resistant properties of the fabric. Always zip all closures before washing to protect the zippers and the surrounding material. To maintain the PFC-free finish, you may eventually need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) refresh spray if water no longer beads off the surface. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
