OEX C3 GORE Windstopper Phantom Zip-Off Jacket - Green

The jacket provides medium thermal protection. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer base and mid-layers underneath for adequate warmth.

You can re-activate the DWR finish by tumble drying the clean jacket on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. For a more robust treatment, consider applying a liquid or spray-on DWR product specifically designed for technical outerwear.

Yes, the jacket is designed for outdoor activities and allows for comfortable movement. The stretch panels and raglan sleeves accommodate backpack straps.

GORE Windstopper technology means the fabric is engineered to be 100% windproof, highly breathable, and water-repellent, offering excellent protection against wind chill while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.

The sleeves can be cleaned following the same care instructions as the main jacket: machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

The 'Phantom' likely refers to the jacket's ability to adapt and disappear into its function, such as the zip-off sleeves allowing it to transition between styles or the discreet design elements.

Ensure the main zipper is fully closed to maximize wind protection. If still too warm, consider removing the sleeves or opening the main zipper slightly for ventilation. Check that the garment is not overly layered underneath.

The pocket is designed for water-repellent splash protection, not full submersion or heavy rain. Ensure the pocket zipper is fully closed. For prolonged exposure to wet conditions, consider using a separate waterproof pouch for sensitive electronics.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the zipper while holding the fabric taut. If a zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can help lubricate it.

This is a sign of normal wear and tear. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the reflective areas during cleaning. Re-proofing treatments generally do not affect reflective elements.
