FAQs

What is the hydrostatic head of this jacket?

The Brasher Grisedale Jacket has a hydrostatic head of 5000mm, which indicates its level of waterproof protection.

Is this jacket insulated for cold weather?

The jacket is designed primarily for waterproofing and breathability. It does not feature built-in insulation but is suitable for layering over warm clothing in colder conditions.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low or air dry, and consider re-applying a DWR treatment periodically.

Can I store large items in the pockets?

The jacket features multiple pockets, including a dedicated internal map pocket and lower zipped handwarmer pockets. While practical for essentials, very large items may not fit comfortably or securely.

What does 'breathable' mean in relation to this jacket?

Breathable fabric allows moisture vapor from your body to escape, preventing you from feeling clammy and overheated during activity, while still keeping external water out.

How adjustable is the hood?

The hood is fully adjustable with drawcords located at the sides and rear, allowing you to cinch it down for a secure and protective fit against wind and rain.

What is the 'dropped hem' feature?

A dropped hem extends lower at the back of the jacket, providing extra coverage and protection for your lower back and seating area from rain and wind.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.

Ensure all zips are fully closed and storm flaps are secured. Check if the breathability is compromised; clean the jacket according to care instructions. If persistent, the DWR treatment may need reapplication.

Water seeps through the zip.

Confirm the storm flap is correctly positioned over the main zip. Ensure the zip itself is not damaged. Clean the zip teeth gently if they appear obstructed.

Hood adjustment is difficult.

Check that the drawcords are not tangled or obstructed. Ensure you are pulling the drawcords evenly to achieve the desired tension.

Pockets feel restrictive.

Ensure the items you are storing are not too large for the pocket capacity. Check that the zips are fully functional and not snagging on contents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and wear. Ensure all zips are fully closed and adjust the hood, waist, and cuffs for a comfortable and secure fit before heading out.

Compatibility: The Brasher Grisedale Jacket is designed for general outdoor wear for men. It can be layered over other clothing for warmth, making it compatible with fleece mid-layers or thermal base layers for colder conditions.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang to air dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  3. Re-proofing: Periodically, especially after washing, apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore water repellency to the outer fabric. Follow the product's instructions for application.
