FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from a soft, lightweight 3L (3-layer) fabric with a waterproof matte surface and taped seams.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable high-neck hood for customizable protection.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides excellent protection against rain and wind but is lightweight. For very cold conditions, it is best layered over warm insulation.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The jacket features a waterproof coated zip closure and the pockets have zip and snap closures, designed to keep contents dry from rain.
What does 'mechanical stretch' mean?
Mechanical stretch refers to the fabric's ability to stretch and recover without the use of elastic fibers, providing comfort and ease of movement.
Does this jacket have breathability features?
While focusing on waterproofing, the 3L fabric is designed to offer some level of breathability suitable for active use, though specific technical breathability ratings are not provided.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Reapply a waterproofing spray or treatment designed for technical outerwear. Check that all seams and zippers are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper track gently with a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oily lubricants that can stain the fabric.
Fabric feels stiff after washing.
Ensure you used a mild detergent and avoided fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low setting with a tennis ball or dryer balls to help soften the fabric. If needed, iron on a very low heat setting with a protective cloth.
