FAQs
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 5000mm high before water penetrates. This offers good protection for typical rainy conditions and outdoor activities.
What is the 5000mvp breathability rating?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Permeability. A 5000mvp rating means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This helps to keep you comfortable by allowing sweat vapor to escape.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The Qikpac jacket is primarily a shell layer designed for rain and wind protection. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated jacket.
Can I machine wash the jacket?
Yes, the jacket can be machine washed at 40°C. It is recommended to use a non-biological detergent and wash with similar colors. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
How do I maintain its waterproofness?
After washing, avoid tumble drying. Air dry the jacket away from direct heat. To refresh the waterproofing, consider using a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
What are the dimensions of the packaway pouch?
The jacket packs into a small, integrated pouch. While exact dimensions vary slightly based on how tightly it's packed, it's designed to be compact enough to fit easily into a pocket or small compartment of a backpack.
What is the difference between this and a heavier-duty waterproof jacket?
This jacket prioritizes packability and lightweight design, making it ideal for variable weather and travel. Heavier-duty jackets often have higher waterproof and breathability ratings, more robust construction, and may include more features, but are generally bulkier and heavier.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. If taped seams are damaged, repair is difficult. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the outer fabric, as the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Check if the fabric itself is saturated; if so, it may need re-waterproofing.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur if the breathability is exceeded during high exertion or in very humid conditions. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for some air circulation. Check that vents (if any) are open. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner to remove any residue that might be blocking pores.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pouch.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or roll it as tightly as possible before inserting it into the pouch. Some users find it easier to pack after a few uses as the material becomes more pliable.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
