FAQs

Is the Lorton II insulated?

No, it is a waterproof shell jacket. It is designed to be worn over base and mid-layers to provide custom thermal regulation.

Does it have an adjustable hood?

Yes, it features an adjustable hood to ensure a secure fit during windy conditions.

Can I use this for skiing?

While the fabric is waterproof and breathable, it lacks specific ski features like a powder skirt or lift pass pocket.

How do I maintain the waterproof membrane?

Keep the jacket clean. Dirt and oils can block the pores of the membrane, reducing breathability and performance.

Are the seams sealed?

Yes, the jacket features fully taped seams to prevent water ingress at the stitching points.

What is the weight of the jacket?

The jacket weighs approximately 695g, making it a robust option for year-round hiking.

Troubleshooting

Water stops beading on the surface

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is wearing off. Re-apply a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

If not leaking, this is likely condensation buildup. Ensure you are layering correctly with breathable materials and adjust your layers as you warm up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Lorton II, keep these tips in mind:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the membrane.
  2. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If the water-repellent performance wanes, a brief tumble dry on a low setting or a gentle iron can help reactivate the H2OShield finish.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a hanger to keep the fabric structure intact. Do not pack it away while damp to prevent mildew.
  4. Compatibility: The fit is designed for layering; consider wearing a base or mid-layer underneath to adjust for varying temperatures.
