Product Information
Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Cagoule in Blue (Size L) is designed for adult males seeking reliable weather protection during outdoor activities like walking, festivals, or urban exploration. Its key benefit is providing waterproof and breathable coverage in a lightweight, packable design. A potential caveat is its half-zip design, which might be less convenient for some users compared to a full zip. This cagoule features Storm Shield technology for waterproofing, a breathable fabric to manage moisture, a single zipped pocket, a storm flap, elasticated cuffs, and adjustable hem and hood cords for a secure fit, all of which pack away into an included stuff sack.

FAQs
Is this cagoule suitable for heavy rain or prolonged downpours?
The cagoule offers waterproof protection suitable for walking and general outdoor use. For extremely heavy or prolonged downpours, consider a more robustly rated waterproof jacket.
How do I pack the cagoule into its stuff sack?
Ensure the cagoule is dry. Starting from the bottom, fold or roll it inwards towards the hood. Once you have a compact shape, place it into the provided stuff sack and pull the drawcord tight.
What activities is this cagoule recommended for?
It is recommended for walking, festivals, and general urban use where protection from light to moderate rain and wind is needed.
Can I wear a fleece or thicker jacket underneath?
Yes, the cagoule is designed as an outer layer and has sufficient room to accommodate lighter to medium-weight layers underneath, such as a fleece or sweatshirt.
What are the care instructions for the fabric?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, no fabric softener. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat. Re-apply DWR treatment periodically.
Does the cagoule have pit zips for ventilation?
No, this model does not feature pit zips. Ventilation relies on the inherent breathability of the fabric and the half-zip opening.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the retailer or Peter Storm's official website for specific warranty information, as this guide does not cover warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule is no longer shedding water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the garment and re-apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside.
Ensure the garment is clean. Fabric softeners or dirt can clog the pores. Wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash detergent and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners.
Zippers sticking.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it's still stuck, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Elasticated cuffs or hem cord losing elasticity.
While elasticity can degrade over time with heavy use, ensure the cord lock system is functioning correctly to maintain a snug fit. For significant loss of elasticity, repair might be difficult for consumer-level fixes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This cagoule requires no setup; it is ready to wear straight out of the stuff sack. Adjust the cord locks at the hem and hood for a secure fit as needed.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this cagoule is intended for use as an outer layer. It is compatible with casual wear, hiking attire, and festival gear.
Care: To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of your cagoule:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane and reduce breathability.
- Drying: Hang to dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Do not expose to direct heat sources like radiators.
- Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric to restore its water-repellency. Follow the product instructions for the re-proofer.
