FAQs

Is this cagoule suitable for extreme cold weather?

The cagoule provides waterproof and windproof protection, making it a good outer layer. For extreme cold, layering appropriate thermal insulation underneath is essential. It is not insulated on its own.

How do I know which size to order?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by the retailer. This cagoule has a relaxed fit, so consider if you intend to wear many layers underneath when choosing your size.

Can I machine wash the cagoule?

Yes, you can machine wash it at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and do not tumble dry or iron.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

It means the cagoule is designed to be compressed into a small size, typically using the included stuff sack, making it very easy to carry in a backpack or bag when not in use.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood features a drawcord that allows you to adjust its fit for better protection against wind and rain.

What material is the cagoule made from?

It is made from 100% nylon 210T with a Polyurethane (PU) coating.

What activities is this cagoule recommended for?

It is recommended for trekking, hiking, backpacking, travelling, or everyday wear, essentially any activity where protection from the elements is needed.

Troubleshooting

Cagoule not shedding water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure the garment is clean before reproofing.

Velcro on stormflap is not securing properly

Clean the Velcro strips on both sides of the stormflap to remove any dirt or debris that may be preventing a secure closure. Ensure the stormflap is aligned correctly before fastening.

Zipper on the pocket is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Cagoule feels damp inside during heavy activity

This can be due to perspiration. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and consider opening the stormflap slightly or the hood if conditions permit to increase ventilation. The cagoule is primarily designed for rain protection, not high-intensity athletic breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent waterproof protection against rain and wind.
  • Lightweight and packable, making it easy to carry on any adventure.
  • Features a functional zipped pocket for securing small items.
  • Adjustable hood and stormflap offer enhanced weather sealing.
  • Durable nylon construction ensures longevity.

Cons

  • The fit may be considered relaxed, not ideal for those seeking a snug, athletic cut.
  • While waterproof, it is not designed for heavy immersion or prolonged extreme downpours.
  • Breathability might be limited during high-exertion activities, potentially leading to some moisture build-up inside.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The cagoule requires no setup; simply unfold it from its stuff sack and put it on. Adjust the hood drawcord for a snug fit.

Compatibility: This cagoule is designed as outerwear and can be worn over a range of clothing layers, from t-shirts to light fleece jackets. It is suitable for most body types due to its relaxed fit and adjustable features.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle.
  2. Detergent: Use a non-biological, mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  3. Drying: Hang dry away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry or iron.
  4. Reproofing: Periodically, you may wish to reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to maintain the fabric's water-repellent properties.
