FAQs

What is the main benefit of this jacket?

The main benefit is its reliable waterproof and windproof protection combined with a lightweight, packable design, making it ideal for travel and outdoor activities.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust the hood toggles, elasticated cuffs, and the cordlock system at the hem for a snug and secure fit that seals out weather.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

This jacket is designed primarily for rain and wind protection. For cold weather, layering with insulating items like fleeces or down jackets underneath is recommended.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low or air dry.

Is this jacket suitable for high-intensity activities?

While it offers protection, its primary design is for moderate outdoor use. For very high-exertion activities, consider a jacket with enhanced breathability features.

What does 'packable' mean in this context?

'Packable' means the jacket can be easily folded or compressed into a small size, typically using an included stuff sack, for convenient transport in a backpack.

What material is the jacket made from?

The main fabric is 100% nylon 210T with a PU coating for waterproofing.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the jacket.

Check the integrity of the PU coating and seams. Ensure all closures (hood, cuffs, hem, stormflap) are properly fastened. Reapply a suitable waterproofing treatment if the coating has worn down.

The zipper snags or is difficult to use.

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Use a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to smooth the zipper action. Do not force the zipper.

The jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.

This may indicate a lack of breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and consider if the jacket is suitable for the activity level and temperature. It is designed for protection, not high-exertion breathability.

Stuff sack is lost.

The jacket can be rolled tightly and secured with its own internal loop if available, or a separate compression sack can be used for storage.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. Simply unpack it from its stuff sack and wear it. Ensure all closures (hood toggles, Velcro stormflap, hem cordlock) are adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before heading out.

Compatibility: The Peter Storm Packable Hooded Waterproof Jacket is designed for general outdoor use and is compatible with various layers underneath, such as fleeces or base layers, depending on the ambient temperature. It is suitable for adults.

Care:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the waterproofing.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators.
  3. Re-waterproofing: Over time, the PU coating may require re-application of a waterproofing treatment. Follow the product instructions for specific re-waterproofing sprays or washes.
