FAQs
What does '2000mm waterproof' mean?
A 2000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand the equivalent of 2000mm of water pressure in a test column without leaking. This is generally considered suitable for light to moderate rain.
What does '2000g/m²/24hrs breathable' mean?
This rating means that 2000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of fabric in a 24-hour period. A higher number indicates better breathability.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides wind and rain protection but offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is recommended to layer a warm fleece or jumper underneath.
How do I maintain the waterproof treatment?
Regular washing with appropriate detergents and periodic reapplication of a PFC-free DWR spray or wash-in treatment will help maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties.
Can I put this jacket in the washing machine?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 30°C. It is important to use a mild detergent and avoid fabric conditioner.
What is PFC-free fabric?
PFC-free fabric means that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment used on the jacket does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. If leakage persists after washing and drying, the DWR treatment may need reapplication. For persistent issues, contact customer support.
Jacket feels damp inside.
This could be due to high humidity or insufficient breathability for intense activity. Ensure the jacket is zipped up correctly and consider layering with breathable materials. Check that the garment is clean, as dirt can clog breathable pores.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently pull the zipper up and down. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. A small amount of wax or graphite can be applied to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness.
