FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
Yes, it features Isotex 15000 fabric and fully taped seams to provide comprehensive protection against heavy rain.
Can I wear this in the winter?
It is a shell jacket, meaning it provides wind and rain protection but not insulation. It is perfect for winter when layered with a warm fleece or mid-layer.
How do I clean the jacket?
Use a technical gear wash following the label instructions. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage the waterproof membrane.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a 'grown-on' design, which is more effective at preventing leaks around the collar area.
Does the material stretch?
Yes, it is engineered with stretch fabric to ensure unrestricted movement during strenuous activities.
Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore water repellency.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
This is often caused by condensation. Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking fabrics rather than cotton, and use the ventilation features if the jacket feels too warm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance, keep the exterior clean to prevent clogging the breathable pores. Wash the garment in cool water using technical cleaners designed for waterproof shells, avoiding heavy detergents or fabric softeners. After washing, a tumble dry on low heat or air drying followed by a brief warm iron can help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. For the best fit, check the size guide to ensure room for mid-layers, such as a fleece or lightweight down jacket, depending on the season.
