Yes, the dense polyester weave provides significant protection against wind chill.
Can I use this for heavy mountain storms?
This jacket is rated at 5000 mm, which is suitable for light to moderate rain. For extreme, prolonged mountain storms, a higher-spec technical shell is recommended.
What material is the jacket made of?
The jacket is crafted from high-quality polyester designed for durability and weather resistance.
Does it come with a storage bag?
The jacket is designed to be self-packing; you can fold it into its own pocket or a compact space.
Is the hood detachable?
No, the hood is integrated into the jacket design to ensure maximum water protection.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reapplied. Use a technical DWR spray designed for waterproof gear.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure the fabric surrounding the zip is clear of the track and gently clean any dirt or grit from the zip teeth using a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Gelert Packaway Waterproof Jacket in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Storage: Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packable state to prevent mold or odors.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof coating.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry or place directly on high-heat radiators, as this may damage the technical fabric.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult men and layers well over standard base layers and lightweight mid-layers due to its tailored fit.
