Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?

How should I clean my jacket?

Troubleshooting
Jacket doesn't seem fully waterproof after some use.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check for any small tears or abrasions. Consider reproofing the jacket with a suitable waterproof treatment, as the durable water repellent (DWR) coating can wear off over time.
Feeling clammy or sweaty inside the jacket.
While breathable, no jacket can vent all moisture in high-exertion activities. Ensure you are wearing appropriate layers underneath. Avoid cotton, which absorbs moisture, and opt for technical base layers that wick sweat away from your body.
Difficulty packing the jacket back into its bag.
The key is to fold it neatly. Lay the jacket flat, fold the sleeves inward, and then roll it tightly from the bottom up towards the hood. This helps compress it sufficiently to fit into the dedicated pack-away pouch.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Clean zippers gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt or grit. You can apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (designed for outdoor gear) or a silicone-based spray to help them glide smoothly.
