FAQs
How do I pack the jacket into its pouch?
Start by folding the jacket flat. Then, begin rolling it tightly from the hem upwards towards the collar. Once rolled, tuck it into the integrated pouch, usually found within the hood or a dedicated pocket.
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, which means it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure before leaking.
What does '5000mvp' for breathability mean?
mvp stands for 'moisture vapor permeability'. A rating of 5000mvp means that 5000 grams of water vapor can pass through one square meter of the fabric in a 24-hour period, indicating a moderate level of breathability.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
The jacket itself is designed for waterproofing and windproofing, not insulation. For cold weather, you will need to layer insulating garments such as fleece or down jackets underneath.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
Yes, with a 5000mm waterproof rating and taped seams, it is suitable for moderate to heavy rain for everyday use. For prolonged exposure in extreme downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
How should I clean the jacket?
It can be machine washed at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly.
What material is the jacket made of?
The shell is made of 100% Polyamide with a PU (Polyurethane) coating.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Check that the taped seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a graphite pencil. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can occur during high-exertion activities. Ensure you are wearing appropriate breathable layers underneath and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. For very intense activities, consider a jacket with higher breathability ratings.
