FAQs
Is this jacket warm enough on its own for winter?
The Qikpac jacket is primarily a waterproof shell. It offers wind resistance but minimal insulation. For cold winter weather, it is recommended to layer it over warm mid-layers like fleece or down jackets.
How do I clean the jacket without damaging the waterproof coating?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Do not tumble dry; air dry instead.
What does 'packaway' mean?
Packaway means the jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a small, compact size, often fitting into its own pocket or a small pouch. This makes it easy to carry in a backpack or bag.
What is the waterproof rating of 5000mm?
A 5000mm waterproof rating indicates that the fabric can withstand a column of water 5000mm high before water penetrates. This provides good protection against moderate rain.
Can this jacket be used for high-intensity sports?
While it offers waterproofing and ventilation, its design is geared towards general outdoor use. For very high-intensity activities where extreme breathability is paramount, specialized technical gear might be more suitable. However, the ventilated back yoke helps with heat management.
What is the difference between this and a fully waterproof jacket?
The term 'fully waterproof' often implies a higher waterproof rating and potentially taped seams. The Qikpac jacket has a specific rating (5000mm) and features like a storm flap, which make it very effective against rain, but it's important to match the rating to your expected conditions.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Seams may require reproofing. Apply a seam sealer or a fabric-specific reproofing spray, following the product instructions. Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried according to care guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead along the teeth) or a silicone-based lubricant.
Jacket no longer beads water effectively.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then apply a re-proofer spray or wash-in treatment designed for waterproof fabrics.
Jacket feels clammy inside despite being dry.
This can occur in high-exertion activities. Ensure the back yoke ventilation is open and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers underneath.
