FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent due to a DWR coating, which sheds light rain, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be worn in heavy, sustained rain.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but please refer to the specific internal care label for exact temperature settings and drying instructions.
What does the regular fit mean?
The regular fit provides a standard cut that is neither too tight nor too loose, offering enough room for a sweater or light shirt underneath.
Does it come with a storage pouch?
The product description does not specify an included storage pouch, so it is best to store it hung in a dry, ventilated area.
What material is the insulation made of?
The jacket uses high-quality padding designed to provide warmth while keeping the garment lightweight.
Troubleshooting
Jacket losing water-repellency
Wash the garment to remove dirt and oils, then apply a specialized DWR re-waterproofing spray as directed by the product instructions.
Zipper sticking or difficult to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth and gently rub a graphite pencil tip or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth to lubricate it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no setup, but maintaining its performance is key to longevity. Because the outer shell utilizes a DWR finish, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the water-repellent properties. Always wash according to the care label, typically on a cold, gentle cycle, and ensure it is dried properly to maintain the loft of the internal padding. When storing for the season, keep it in a cool, dry place and avoid hanging it on thin wire hangers, which can stretch the shoulder fabric. If you find the jacket losing water-repellency over time, consider using a specialized DWR reactivation spray.
