FAQs
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water before it starts to leak. This offers good protection for moderate to heavy rain.
How breathable is this jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000mvp (Moisture Vapor Permeability). This is considered good for general outdoor activities, allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides waterproof and windproof protection, which helps with insulation. However, it is primarily a shell layer. For very cold weather, you will need to layer insulating clothing underneath.
How do I store the packaway hood?
The hood is designed to be folded and stored, often within a dedicated pocket or compartment, usually located in the collar. Simply fold it neatly and tuck it away.
Are the pockets insulated?
The product description mentions two zip pockets for secure storage. There is no specific mention of insulation for these pockets.
What is the taffeta lining for?
The taffeta lining provides a smooth, comfortable feel against the skin and helps the jacket slide easily over other clothing layers.
How do I adjust the hem?
The jacket features adjustable hem drawcords, usually located inside the hemline. You can pull these cords to tighten the jacket around the hips for a more snug fit and to help keep out drafts.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The jacket's DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment using a spray or wash-in product designed for waterproof outerwear. Ensure seams are properly sealed.
Zip is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zip teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zip lubricant) to the zip teeth to help it slide more smoothly.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This may indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane. Check that any internal vents are not obstructed. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised over time.
Hood adjustment is loose
Ensure the drawcord is properly threaded through the hood and that the toggle is functioning correctly. If the drawcord itself is frayed or damaged, it may need to be replaced.
