Featuring advanced Isotex 15000 stretch fabric and a breathable design, it excels during long walks in unpredictable conditions, though users should note that as a lightweight shell, it does not provide active thermal insulation on its own.

FAQs

Is this jacket insulated?

No, the Birchdale II is a waterproof shell designed for layering. It does not contain padding or down insulation.

Can I wash the Birchdale II in a washing machine?

Yes, but use a mild, technical detergent and a gentle cycle. Always check the internal care label for specific temperature settings.

What does 15000 mean in the fabric description?

This refers to the hydrostatic head rating, meaning the fabric can withstand a 15,000mm water column before any moisture seeps through, indicating high-level waterproofing.

Does the hood detach?

The hood is generally fixed to the jacket to ensure a continuous seal against water and wind.

Is the jacket true to size?

It is designed with an active fit to accommodate movement, but if you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, some users prefer to size up.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through the fabric

The outer DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket with a specialized cleaner and apply a spray-on or wash-in re-proofing treatment.

Feeling damp inside the jacket

Ensure your base layers are synthetic or wool-based. Avoid cotton, which absorbs sweat and creates a cold, damp feeling regardless of the jacket's breathability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High waterproof rating (15000mm) keeps you dry in severe weather
  • Stretch material offers superior comfort and mobility compared to stiff rain shells
  • Breathable fabric construction reduces moisture build-up inside the garment
  • Multiple pockets for convenient storage of trail essentials
  • Technical features like drainage channels and taped seams enhance long-term durability

Cons

  • Shell-only design requires layering for cold-weather warmth
  • Requires proper garment care to maintain the waterproof membrane over time
  • Fit is tailored for activity, which may feel slim depending on your layering choices

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, always follow the care label instructions. Avoid using heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating from the outer fabric. If the jacket loses its water-shedding performance, consider using a technical re-proofer spray specifically designed for waterproof membranes. For the best performance, wear this as a top layer over a moisture-wicking base layer and a mid-layer fleece, as the Birchdale II is not insulated and relies on your own body heat trapped by these additional layers.
