The jacket has a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m/24 hours, indicating good performance in allowing moisture vapor to escape.

Water-repellent means the fabric resists water penetration to a certain degree, suitable for light moisture. Waterproof means the fabric is designed to prevent water from passing through entirely, even under pressure or prolonged exposure.

The jacket is made from Softshell XPT bonded with a honeycomb backing, consisting of 100% polyester and weighing 200gsm.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket using a technical wash and then apply a re-proofer according to the product's instructions.

For minor stains, use a damp cloth. For more significant stains, follow the machine washing instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing, which can damage the fabric or DWR finish.

The fabric may be clogged with dirt or residue. Clean the jacket thoroughly according to the care instructions. Ensure the breathability rating is not exceeded by wearing excessively warm layers underneath in mild conditions.
