FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket is rated at 3000mm, which is excellent for light-to-moderate rain. For heavy, sustained downpours, professional-grade gear with a higher rating may be required.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is integrated into the design to ensure maximum waterproof seal around the neck and head.

Can I use fabric softener when washing?

No, you should never use fabric softener as it damages the technical coating and reduces breathability.

What does fluorocarbon-free mean?

It means the jacket uses a more environmentally friendly water-repellent treatment that does not contain harmful chemicals typically found in older waterproofing agents.

Is the jacket insulated?

The Beachcomber is designed as a protective shell. It is windproof and offers some weather protection, but it does not feature heavy internal insulation, making it perfect for layering.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a technical waterproofing spray.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Ensure you are not wearing non-breathable layers underneath. High humidity levels can also reduce the effectiveness of the jacket's breathability.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your LightHouse Beachcomber Jacket, it is important to follow proper maintenance routines. Because the garment features a fluorocarbon-free coating, it is best to machine wash it on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap designed for technical outdoor gear. Avoid using fabric softeners or heavy detergents, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and significantly reduce breathability. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the taped seams from loosening. When storing, ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew from forming in the pockets or lining.
