FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant and windproof. It will protect you against light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air-dry the jacket to protect the bonded layers and the integrity of the microfleece lining.

Does it have a hood?

No, this specific model features a standard collar design with a neck protector, not a hood.

Is the fabric breathable?

Yes, the 3-layer fabric is designed with a breathable membrane to allow moisture vapor to escape during physical activity.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, avoid fabric softeners as they can negatively affect the water-repellent finish and the breathability of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer layer

The water-repellent coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt buildup and, if needed, reapply a standard DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray.

The zip feels stiff or catches

Check for debris or fabric caught in the zipper track. Ensure the internal storm flap is lying flat behind the zip when closing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality 3-layer windproof construction
  • Breathable material keeps you comfortable during activity
  • Adjustable cuffs and hem for a tailored fit
  • Easy to clean and fully launderable

Cons

  • Water resistance is for light elements, not heavy rain
  • Designed primarily for adult male body types
  • Lacks a hood for head protection in wet conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket maintains its water-resistant properties, it is important to follow proper care instructions. The jacket is fully launderable; wash it on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathable membrane of the fabric. Always zip the jacket fully and close all cord pulls before placing it in the washing machine to prevent snagging. For the best fit, adjust the hem bungee and cuffs until you achieve a comfortable seal that prevents wind from entering. Because this is a high-performance polyester garment, it should be air-dried to preserve the integrity of the bonded layers.
