FAQs
What does 'H2No® Performance Standard' mean?
H2No® Performance Standard is Patagonia's benchmark for their waterproof, breathable fabrics. It ensures exceptional levels of durable waterproofness and long-term performance.
Is this jacket insulated?
No, this is a 3-layer shell jacket designed for waterproof and breathable protection. It does not include insulation, making it ideal for layering in varying temperatures.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Ensure all zippers and fasteners are closed before washing.
What is the benefit of PFAS-free construction?
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals often used in DWR finishes. Making the jacket without intentionally added PFAS is an environmental choice to reduce the presence of these persistent chemicals.
Can I wear a helmet under the hood?
Yes, the low-profile hood is designed to accommodate a variety of headwear, including helmets, while maintaining good visibility.
How often should I reapply the DWR finish?
The need to reapply DWR depends on usage and care. Reapply when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface after washing and drying.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed. If the issue persists, the DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket before reapplication.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Check if the pit zips or vents (if present) are open. Ensure the jacket is not overly layered beneath, which can trap moisture. Clean the jacket, as dirt and oils can impede breathability.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can help if it remains stiff.
