FAQs
Is this set suitable for heavy rain?
It is rated at 1500mm, which is effective for light to moderate rain showers. It is not designed for heavy downpours or prolonged storms.
Can I put this in the tumble dryer?
No, you should avoid the tumble dryer as the heat can compromise the taped seams and waterproof coating.
Are the trousers lined?
The trousers are designed to be lightweight and packable, so they feature a simple, unlined nylon construction for easy layering.
What does PFC-free mean?
It means the fabric treatment does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproofing but can be harmful to the environment.
How should I store the set?
Keep it in its drawstring bag in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving it scrunched up while wet for extended periods.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric after heavy use
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and apply a re-waterproofing spray.
Difficulty packing the set into the bag
Ensure all air is squeezed out of the garments while folding them tightly; do not force the bag if it remains too bulky.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep the gear in optimal condition, always ensure the set is fully dry before packing it away into its drawstring bag to prevent mildew.
Care Instructions:
- Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle.
- Do not use fabric softeners, as they can strip the DWR coating.
- Air dry only, away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the taped seams.
- If the water-repellency fades over time, you can re-apply a DWR spray treatment to the exterior fabric.
