Full details

FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket features Isotex 15000 polyester stretch fabric, indicating a waterproof rating of 15000mm.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
Yes, it is designed as a waterproof outer layer and can be worn over insulating layers for warmth in colder conditions.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a liquid detergent, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
What does 'articulated sleeves' mean?
Articulated sleeves are designed with pre-shaped or segmented construction to allow for a greater range of motion and flexibility, preventing the sleeves from riding up when you raise your arms.
How do I adjust the hood?
The jacket has a grown-on technical hood with adjusters that allow you to tighten or loosen it for a secure and personalized fit around your head.
What is the benefit of the drainage channel on the zip?
The drainage channel helps to guide water away from the zip and the wearer's chest, further enhancing the jacket's waterproof performance.
Is this jacket suitable for everyday casual wear?
While functional for everyday use, its design and features are optimized for strenuous outdoor activities. For casual wear, you might find it more technical than necessary, but it will certainly keep you dry.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Apply a water-repellent treatment (spray or wash-in) as per the product's guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can be due to high exertion or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the main zip is partially open and adjust hood and cuff closures to allow for airflow. Check if the garment is clean, as dirt can impede breathability.
