Full details
The Peter Storm Packable Jacket is a versatile, lightweight outer layer designed for hikers, commuters, and travelers who need reliable protection against unpredictable weather. Built with durable nylon and featuring proprietary Storm Shield Technology, this jacket balances water resistance with essential breathability. While it excels in portability due to its integrated stuff sack, users should note that as a lightweight emergency shell, it is best suited for layering rather than providing heavy thermal insulation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
It features a water-resistant PU coating and Storm Shield technology, designed to handle rain showers, though it is not rated for sustained torrential downpours.
Does the jacket come with a bag?
Yes, it includes a matching stuff sack for convenient packing.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with mild soap. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Can I wear this in winter?
It is not an insulated jacket. It works best as an outer shell over thermal layers during colder months.
Are the cuffs adjustable?
The cuffs are elasticated to provide a snug fit without the need for additional velcro or straps.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need to be refreshed with a spray-on treatment after repeated washes.
Jacket feels stiff or wrinkled
Ensure the garment is shaken out and hung on a proper hanger when not in use, rather than leaving it compressed in the stuff sack for long periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties, ensure the garment is completely dry before folding it into its stuff sack to prevent odors or fabric degradation. When adjusting the fit, use the cord lock toggles on the hood and the adjustable hem to create a seal against the wind. To clean, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent; avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners, as these can strip the protective PU coating. For long-term care, air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources, and occasionally refresh the exterior water-repellent finish if water stops beading on the surface.
