FAQs

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, it features a durable water repellent (DWR) finish which handles light rain, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

Can I pack this jacket into a small pocket?

Yes, it is highly compressible and designed to be a packable option for hiking.

What is the insulation weight?

The jacket uses 120 gsm ILOFT AIR padding.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, it features a technical wired peak and adjusters for a secure fit.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, it includes an internal zipped pocket in addition to two exterior side pockets.

How should I wash this jacket?

Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with technical cleaner. Do not use fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric

The DWR finish may need reactivation. Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 10-15 minutes or reapply a technical DWR spray.

Jacket feels less warm over time

The padding may have compressed due to dirt or sweat buildup. Wash the garment to restore the loft of the insulation.

Pros and Cons

  • Extremely lightweight and easy to pack for long hikes
  • High-quality abrasion-resistant fabric for long-term durability
  • Excellent compressibility for space-saving storage in backpacks
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs provide effective wind protection

Cons

  • Water-repellent finish is not waterproof for heavy rain
  • Lightweight design may require layering in extreme sub-zero temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket is designed for a performance fit. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, wash on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Air drying is recommended to preserve the loft of the ILOFT padding. When storing for the season, ensure the jacket is clean and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is compatible with most waterproof hardshell jackets if you need an extra layer of protection during severe storms.
