Product Information
Full details
The DLX Strathbeg Waterproof Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, and campers who require reliable protection against wet weather conditions. Its key benefit lies in the 10,000mm waterproof rating combined with 5,000mvp breathability, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable without overheating during physical exertion. However, users should note that as a lightweight performance shell, it is best utilized as part of a layering system rather than as a heavy-duty insulated winter coat.

Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking through the fabric
The outer DWR coating may need refreshing. Wash the garment and apply a technical waterproofing re-proofer spray.
Condensation building up inside the jacket
This is likely caused by the intensity of activity exceeding the breathability limit. Try removing a mid-layer to allow better moisture transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best performance, ensure the hood is fully adjusted using the built-in toggles before heading out into rain. This jacket is fully compatible with standard layering systems; its lightweight profile makes it easy to fit over fleece jackets or thermal tops. To maintain the waterproof integrity, it is recommended to wash the jacket using mild detergents and avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade the performance of the technical membrane. Always hang the garment to air dry rather than using high-heat machine drying, which can damage the waterproof coating over time.
