Product Information
Full details
The DLX Strathbeg Waterproof Jacket is an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts and active adults who require reliable wet-weather protection without sacrificing comfort. Featuring a 10,000mm waterproof rating and high breathability, it excels during hiking, camping, and daily commutes in unpredictable climates. While it provides excellent defense against heavy downpours, users should note that as a lightweight performance layer, it is best utilized as part of a modular layering system rather than as a heavy-duty insulated winter coat.

FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough for winter?
This is a shell jacket and does not contain insulation. It is designed to keep you dry; you should wear insulating mid-layers underneath for warmth.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
It is generally recommended to air dry this garment. Extreme heat from tumble dryers can damage the waterproof membrane.
What does 10,000mm waterproof mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water before any leakage occurs, indicating high-level protection in heavy rain.
Is the hood removable?
No, this jacket features a grown-on (fixed) adjustable hood for better weather protection and durability.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a specialized technical wash detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and follow the care label instructions inside the garment.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be soaking through the fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR coating may need refreshing. Wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray designed for outdoor apparel.
Condensation building up inside the jacket during activity.
Ensure you are using the correct base layers that wick moisture away from your skin, rather than cotton which holds moisture.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, keep the surface clean by wiping away mud and debris after use. When washing, use a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof fabrics to avoid stripping the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always hang to dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the membrane. For the best fit, use the hood adjustment to tighten the cinch during high winds. The jacket pairs perfectly with thermal base layers or light fleece mid-layers to adapt to varying temperatures.
