The jacket features 3 handy pockets, including one O/S (Ordnance Survey) map pocket and one zipped security pocket, in addition to a standard pocket.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then re-apply a suitable DWR treatment for outdoor clothing.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Wash using a technical wash and rinse thoroughly. Check that all pockets are empty and zippers are fully closed before washing.
