FAQs

Is this jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a waterproof and breathable membrane and a durable water repellent finish, making it suitable for light to moderate rain. For prolonged heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

What is the purpose of the ripstop shoulder panels?

The textured ripstop shoulder panels are designed to be more durable and resistant to abrasion, which is beneficial when wearing a backpack.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing information provided: 'S (38: To Fit (ins))' indicates size Small fits a chest circumference of approximately 38 inches. Measure your chest and compare with the chart.

Can I wear this in cold weather?

The softshell fabric provides some warmth. For colder conditions, it is recommended to layer a warm mid-layer, such as a fleece, underneath.

What is the 'ATL durable water repellent finish'?

ATL stands for Advanced Textile Laminates. This finish is a treatment applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the garment dry.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, do not bleach, and tumble dry on low or hang dry. Avoid dry cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading off the fabric.

The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable DWR treatment after cleaning.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate with a wax-based product or a graphite pencil tip.

Jacket feels less breathable.

The fabric may be clogged with dirt or detergent residue. Follow the care instructions for a thorough wash.

Hood adjustment is not holding.

Check that the adjuster cord is properly threaded and the toggles are functioning correctly. Ensure the cord is not frayed.
