FAQs
Is this cagoule suitable for heavy rain?
The cagoule offers waterproof protection suitable for light to moderate rain. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, consider a cagoule with higher hydrostatic head ratings or more robust construction.
How do I pack the cagoule into its stuff sack?
Ensure the cagoule is dry. Start by folding it as compactly as possible, then roll it tightly and place it into the provided stuff sack. Push out any excess air as you go.
Can I wear a warm fleece under this cagoule?
Yes, the cagoule is designed as an outer shell and is suitable for layering over warm mid-layers like fleeces for added insulation in colder weather.
What is the 'Storm Shield' technology?
Storm Shield is the brand's term for its waterproof and breathable fabric technology, designed to protect against the elements while allowing internal moisture to escape.
How durable is the PU coating?
The PU coating provides waterproofing, but its durability depends on care. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, heat, and harsh chemicals. Follow the care instructions for best results.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it features an adjustable hood with a drawcord for enhanced wet weather protection.
What activities is this cagoule best suited for?
It is recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, and everyday wear, particularly in unpredictable weather conditions.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is leaking water
Check if the PU coating is intact. Ensure all seams are sealed. Re-waterproofing treatment may be necessary if the fabric's performance has degraded. Ensure all closures are fastened correctly.
Fabric feels clammy or wet inside
This could indicate a build-up of condensation due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure ventilation is maximized by opening any available zips or adjustments. Make sure you are wearing breathable base layers.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Allow to dry, then lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Drawcords are not tightening properly
Check the cord lock mechanism for blockages or damage. Ensure the cord itself is not frayed or tangled. If damaged, the cord lock may need replacement.
