FAQs

What is GORE-TEX® ePE?

GORE-TEX® ePE is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable membrane designed to provide optimal weather protection while remaining environmentally conscious.

How do I best layer this jacket?

Layering depends on the activity and conditions. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating mid-layer (fleece or down), and then use the Saltoro GORE-TEX® Jacket as your outer shell.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

No, it's best to use a detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments to avoid damaging the GORE-TEX® membrane.

How often should I re-proof the jacket?

Re-proof the jacket when water stops beading on the surface. This typically depends on how frequently the jacket is used and the conditions it is exposed to.

What if the jacket gets a tear or puncture?

Small tears can often be repaired with a patch kit designed for outdoor gear. For larger damage, professional repair may be required.

What are the benefits of the articulated sleeves?

Articulated sleeves are pre-shaped to provide a greater range of motion and reduce restriction during activities like climbing or hiking.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood has adjustment points at the front and back to customize the fit around your face and head. The wired visor can be adjusted to maintain visibility.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the jacket's DWR finish. If water is no longer beading on the surface, re-apply a DWR treatment. Also, inspect the jacket for any damage that may compromise its waterproofness.

The jacket feels clammy or less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can affect breathability. Wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions. Make sure that you are layering appropriately for the activity level.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a zipper lubricant for smoother operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and breathable performance.
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to articulated sleeves.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding mountain environments.
  • Adjustable hood and cuffs for a customized fit and protection.
  • Effective ventilation through underarm pit zips.

Cons

  • Requires proper layering for optimal temperature regulation.
  • May be overkill for mild weather conditions.
  • The initial investment cost may be higher compared to non-GORE-TEX® alternatives.
  • Requires care to maintain the waterproof membrane.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

There is no specific "setup" required. It is ready to wear.

Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be part of a layering system. It is best used with appropriate base layers and mid-layers to regulate temperature. It is compatible with various mountain and outdoor gear, including backpacks and climbing harnesses.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash the jacket in warm water (30°C/86°F) using a mild detergent specifically designed for waterproof garments. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang the jacket to dry. If tumble drying, it can help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
  3. Re-proofing: The jacket will need to be re-proofed periodically to maintain its water resistance. Use a DWR spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX® garments following the manufacturer's instructions. This is best done after washing.
