FAQs
What does 'Packaway' mean?
'Packaway' signifies that the jacket is designed to be easily folded and stored into a compact size, often into its own pocket or an included pouch, making it convenient for travel or carrying when not in use.
How do I know if this jacket is the right size?
Refer to the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements. This jacket has a relaxed fit and features adjustable drawcords and elasticated cuffs, offering some flexibility. Consider what you typically wear underneath when deciding on a size.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides windproof and waterproof protection, but it is not heavily insulated. For very cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over insulating layers like fleece or down.
What is the difference between waterproof and water-resistant?
Waterproof jackets are designed to prevent water from penetrating the fabric entirely, often indicated by a hydrostatic head rating (like the 5000mm on this jacket). Water-resistant jackets offer protection against light moisture but may not withstand prolonged or heavy rain.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface and is soaking into the fabric. This frequency depends on usage and care, typically ranging from several months to a year or more.
Is this jacket suitable for activities like running?
Yes, due to its waterproof, windproof, and breathable properties, it is suitable for running and other high-energy activities, especially in wet conditions. The ventilation helps manage heat buildup.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may need refreshing. Clean the jacket and apply a specific waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for outdoor gear, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper. If it remains stiff, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose
The elastic may have lost some tension over time. While not adjustable, ensure they are clean and free from debris which might affect their fit.
