FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for waterproof/breathable fabrics. Avoid fabric softeners.
Can I wear this in a blizzard?
While the jacket is windproof and highly waterproof, it is a softshell and is not insulated for extreme winter arctic temperatures.
What does 10000mvp breathability mean?
It measures how much water vapor can escape through the fabric. A 10000mvp rating is considered excellent for high-energy activities like hiking.
Are the pockets truly waterproof?
They feature water-repellent zippers which protect contents from rain and splashes, but they are not fully submersible or airtight.
Does it have an adjustable cuff?
The jacket features a streamlined design; please check the sleeve endings for integrated adjusters if required.
Troubleshooting
Water beading has stopped on the surface
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need refreshing. Clean the jacket and use a recommended DWR spray-on treatment to restore the finish.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to pull
Check for debris in the track and wipe with a damp cloth. A dry silicone zipper lubricant can be used if stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains performance-ready, avoid using standard detergents which can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. Use a dedicated technical fabric cleaner instead. Keep the zippers clean of grit and dirt to ensure they continue to repel water effectively. When sizing, consider that the Flanagan is an active fit; if you plan to wear it over a heavy fleece, you may prefer a size up from your usual preference. Always tighten the hem drawcord after putting the jacket on to prevent cold air from entering from below.
