FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Nimbus Jacket?

The Nimbus Jacket is designed to be a super lightweight, windproof layer that can be easily packed away, making it ideal for active outdoor use where protection from wind and packability are key.

How do I pack the jacket into its Packpocket?

Turn the jacket inside out and locate the internal pocket. Stuff the jacket into this pocket, folding and pushing until it fits snugly. The pocket is designed to hold the entire jacket.

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the Nimbus Jacket is windproof, not waterproof. It will protect you from wind and light showers but is not designed for heavy rain.

What kind of temperatures is this jacket suitable for?

Due to its lightweight nature, it's best for mild conditions or as a layering piece. For colder weather, it should be worn over insulating layers like a fleece or down jacket.

Can I wear a thick sweater underneath?

The jacket is designed for active use and layering. While it accommodates a lightweight fleece or long-sleeved top comfortably, a very thick sweater might restrict movement.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry. Do not bleach or dry clean.

What sizes are available?

This specific product is a Size M. Other sizes may be available from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not packing down efficiently

Ensure the jacket is clean and completely dry before attempting to pack it into its designated pocket. Smooth out wrinkles as you fold.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Fleece material feels less soft after washing

Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade fleece. If softness is a concern, consider a specialized fleece wash or a very dilute white vinegar rinse during the wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
