FAQs

What does 5000 mm waterproofing mean?

A 5000 mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5000 millimeters of water in a vertical test, meaning it is suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Is this jacket breathable?

While designed to keep rain out, this jacket's breathability is standard for its lightweight category. For high-exertion activities, additional ventilation may be beneficial.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild detergent, and then either tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?

Yes, it can be worn as an outer shell over warmer layers like fleece or thermal tops to provide wind and rain protection in cooler conditions.

What is the main benefit of the packaway design?

The packaway design allows the jacket to be compressed into a small size, making it extremely convenient to carry in a backpack or bag for unexpected weather changes without taking up much space.

How many pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket features two secure side pockets for storing small essential items.

What material is the jacket made from?

The jacket is crafted from 100% Polyester, contributing to its lightweight and waterproof properties.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure all seams are intact and that the zipper is fully closed. For persistent issues, consider re-waterproofing treatments designed for outdoor gear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently pull the zipper while ensuring no fabric is caught. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels damp inside, but it's not raining.

This could be due to condensation. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and consider opening the jacket to ventilate when not in heavy rain.

Jacket is difficult to pack down small.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold it as neatly as possible, starting from the sleeves and body, then roll it tightly.
