FAQs

How do I wash the Makalu Jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash detergent. Avoid fabric softeners.

Can I tumble dry the jacket?

Yes, tumble dry on low heat to help reactivate the DWR finish.

How do I re-proof the jacket?

After washing, apply a DWR treatment following the product instructions. This will restore the water-repellent properties.

What is the Alpine fit?

The Alpine fit is designed for freedom of movement during activities like climbing and hiking, allowing for layering without restricting movement.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

The Makalu Jacket is designed for a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountaineering, and general outdoor use in wet or windy conditions.

Are the pockets waterproof?

The jacket features YKK WR (Water Resistant) zippers on the pockets to help protect your belongings from moisture.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR finish needs re-application. Clean and re-proof the jacket.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant.

The jacket feels clammy during activity.

Ensure proper layering beneath the jacket to manage moisture. Consider a more breathable layer next to skin.

Compatibility:

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash in warm water (30°C/86°F) on a gentle cycle. Use a technical wash detergent, avoiding fabric softeners.
