FAQs

What does 5000 mm waterproofing mean?

A 5000 mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 5000 mm high before water penetrates it. This is considered suitable for moderate rain.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a compact size. Refer to specific product tags or online resources for the most efficient packing method for your model.

Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?

Yes, it can be worn in cold weather when layered with warm clothing underneath. The jacket itself is not insulated.

What is the material of the jacket?

The jacket is made from 100% Polyester.

Are the seams taped or sealed?

Yes, the jacket features sealed seams to prevent water from entering through the stitching.

How should I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat and iron on a low setting if needed. Do not dry clean.

Does the hood offer adjustable features?

Yes, the hood is adjustable, allowing you to customize the fit for better protection against the elements.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for waterproof fabrics after cleaning. Ensure seams are still intact.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil lead to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the jacket is properly ventilated by opening the front zipper. If worn during high exertion, the internal moisture may be from perspiration rather than external rain. Consider a more breathable jacket for intense activities.
