It offers an ideal balance of water-repellent fabric and strategic ventilation to keep you dry and comfortable, though its lightweight construction makes it more suitable for layering than as a heavy-duty cold-weather insulator.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it protects against light rain and moisture but is not designed for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this in the dark?
Yes, the jacket features reflective detailing specifically designed to increase visibility in low-light conditions.
How should I wash this jacket?
Wash in cold water with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners, and air dry.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is fixed with an elasticated fit system.
What size should I choose?
The jacket has a relaxed fit. If you prefer a tighter, more aerodynamic feel, you may want to consider sizing down, otherwise, stick to your standard size.
Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems to be decreasing
Wash the garment to remove oils and dirt, then tumble dry on low heat or use a low-heat iron to help reactivate the water-repellent treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and consider using a silicone-based zipper lubricant if the stiffness persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent properties of the fabric, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water with mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the technical fibers. Always zip the pockets closed before putting it in the laundry to prevent snagging. For drying, air drying is preferred to preserve the integrity of the reflective elements and the water-resistant coating. Ensure you verify the size match, as the XL size is tailored for a standard athletic build with a relaxed fit.
