Product Information
Full details
The DLX Donahue Waterproof Jacket is designed for adult men who need reliable protection during outdoor activities in unpredictable weather. It offers the key benefit of a cozy, padded lining that provides warmth without excessive bulk, combined with a waterproof exterior for full elemental coverage. While it excels in versatility and storage, potential users should note that the extended length and padding make it more suited for cooler, wet conditions rather than high-intensity, warm-weather athletic pursuits.

FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof or just water-resistant?
The DLX Donahue is designed with waterproof materials to offer high levels of protection against heavy rain.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable zip-off hood that can be easily detached when not required.
How should I wash this jacket?
Follow the instructions on the internal label, typically using a gentle machine wash cycle with technical cleaners and avoiding softeners.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets are designed for weather protection, but they are not fully submersible; store delicate electronics in a dry bag inside the pocket for extra safety.
Is the jacket true to size?
The DLX Donahue fits according to standard sizing. If you plan to layer thick sweaters underneath, you may consider if your normal size provides enough room.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and apply a fresh waterproof re-proofer spray.
Zippers feel stiff or difficult to close
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth and ensure no inner lining is caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your DLX Donahue jacket in peak condition, always check the garment's internal care label before cleaning. Generally, it is best to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a technical detergent suitable for waterproof fabrics. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the protective waterproof coating. To maintain the jacket's water-repellency, air dry whenever possible or tumble dry on the lowest heat setting if the care label permits. Periodically re-treating the outer shell with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will help water bead off the fabric surface effectively.
