Peter Storm Packable Hooded Jacket - Black

This jacket is best suited for light rain, windy conditions, and cool temperatures. It provides wind resistance and water repellency for everyday wear and transitional weather.

While it can be layered for extra warmth, this jacket itself offers minimal insulation and is not designed for extreme cold. It is most effective as an outer shell layer over warmer garments.

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can reduce its water-repellent properties.

The provided product information does not specify if the hood is adjustable. It is an integrated hood designed for protection.

The jacket is made from durable nylon.

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it can repel light rain for a period, but it is not fully waterproof and may not withstand prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

The jacket folds down easily for convenient storage in a backpack or travel bag, making it ideal for situations where space is limited.

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

The jacket offers water resistance, not waterproofing. For heavy rain, consider a more specialized waterproof garment. Ensure the fabric is clean, as dirt can impact performance. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be needed if performance has degraded significantly over time.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding and packing. Fold it neatly rather than just stuffing it to maintain its structure.
