FAQs
Is this cagoule waterproof or water-resistant?
The Peter Storm Packable Cagoule is designed to be water-resistant, offering protection against light to moderate rain. It is not fully waterproof and may not perform well in heavy downpours.
How do I clean the cagoule?
Hand wash with cold water and mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Always hang dry away from direct heat.
What does 'packable' mean for this cagoule?
Packable means the cagoule can be folded or rolled into a very small size, making it easy to carry in a pocket, small bag, or backpack without taking up much space.
What material is the cagoule made of?
The cagoule is made of durable nylon.
Can this be worn in cold weather?
It is primarily designed for rain protection and offers very little insulation. It can be worn over other layers in cooler weather, but it is not a winter jacket.
What sizes are available?
This guide specifically covers the XS size. Other sizes may be available for this model.
Is the hood adjustable?
While not explicitly detailed, most cagoules feature a hood that can be adjusted for a better fit around the face, often with a drawstring or elastic.
Troubleshooting
Cagoule not fully repelling water.
Check if the material is damaged. For older garments, the water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for nylon.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Cagoule feels clammy inside.
This is common with lightweight, non-breathable materials. Ensure you are only wearing light layers underneath and allow for ventilation if possible (e.g., by slightly opening the front if applicable, though this cagoule likely has a pullover design).
