Peter Storm Packable Hooded Waterproof Jacket - Black - M

The jacket is designed for waterproof protection and should perform well in moderate to heavy rain due to its nylon material and PU coating. However, prolonged exposure in extreme conditions might eventually lead to saturation.

Ensure the jacket is dry and zipped up. Fold it loosely or bunch it, then push it into the provided stuff sack, starting with the hood or hem end.

This is a shell jacket designed primarily for protection against wind and rain. It offers minimal insulation on its own and is intended to be layered over other clothing for warmth.

Yes, it is ideal for hiking and walking due to its waterproof features, packability, and comfortable fit designed for movement.

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is instead soaking into the fabric. This typically depends on usage frequency and environmental conditions, but can range from once a year to every few years.

'Packable' means the jacket is designed to be lightweight and compressible, folding down easily into a small size, often into its own integrated pocket or an included stuff sack, making it convenient for travel and storage.

The PU coating or DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and consider re-applying a waterproofing treatment specifically designed for nylon and PU-coated fabrics.

Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of wax or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Check the size guide provided by Peter Storm. Adjust the cordlock toggles on the hood and hem, and ensure the elasticated cuffs are properly seated for a more tailored fit.

While waterproof, the jacket may not be fully breathable. This can happen during high-exertion activities. Ensure all ventilation points (like zips if present, though not specified) are open and wear moisture-wicking base layers.
