FAQs
What does 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 5000mm (approximately 5 meters) column of water before water starts to seep through. This provides good protection against moderate to heavy rain.
What does 5000mvp breathability rating mean?
MVP stands for Moisture Vapor Transmission. A 5000mvp rating indicates that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period. This allows perspiration to escape, keeping you more comfortable.
How do I wash the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 40°C. It is recommended to close all zippers and fastenings before washing and to wash it separately. Do not use bleach, iron, or dry clean the jacket. Tumble dry on a low heat.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for rain protection and wind resistance. It is lightweight and does not provide significant insulation. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell over warm layers.
Can I wear this jacket for intense sports like running?
Yes, the jacket's breathability rating of 5000mvp makes it suitable for moderate to high-intensity activities. It allows moisture to escape, helping to regulate your body temperature.
What should I do if the jacket loses its water repellency?
Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish can wear off. You can restore this by washing the jacket with a technical fabric cleaner and then tumble drying it on a low heat, or by applying a re-waterproofing spray designed for outdoor apparel.
Does the jacket come with its own storage bag?
Yes, this is a packaway jacket, meaning it is designed to be folded and stored within its own integrated pouch for portability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This could be due to condensation from body heat. Ensure the jacket is not too tight, allowing for better air circulation. Check that all zippers and vents are properly closed to maintain waterproof integrity. For heavy activity, the breathability rating might be exceeded, leading to some internal moisture.
Water appears to be seeping through seams.
Verify that the taped seams are intact. If there is visible damage to the seam tape, the jacket's waterproof integrity may be compromised. Ensure all zippers are fully closed as water can sometimes penetrate through an open zipper.
The packable pouch is difficult to use.
Start by folding the jacket neatly, ensuring all air is pressed out. Then, carefully roll or fold it to fit into the pouch. It may require a few attempts to get the most efficient packing method.
