FAQs
What does a 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates the jacket can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm column of water for one hour without leaking, offering good protection against moderate rain.
How breathable is this jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000mvp (Moisture Vapor Permeability), which means it allows a moderate amount of water vapor to pass through, helping to manage moisture during physical activity.
Can this jacket be worn in cold weather?
The jacket itself offers windproofing but minimal insulation. It is designed to be layered over other clothing; add a fleece or insulated layer underneath for warmth in colder conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.
What is the packable pouch for?
The jacket is designed to be folded or stuffed into its own integrated pouch, making it highly compact and easy to carry in a backpack or pocket when not needed.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy downpours?
While rated for 5000mm waterproofing, it is best suited for moderate rain. For prolonged exposure to very heavy rain or extreme conditions, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
What is the material of the jacket?
The shell is made of 100% Polyamide with a Polyurethane (PU) coating.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can be due to high humidity or intense activity. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for air circulation. Check breathability rating and consider if conditions exceed the jacket's capabilities.
Jacket does not pack easily into its pouch
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack it. Fold or roll it neatly before stuffing into the pouch.
