Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. Please use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners.
Is it suitable for heavy winter snow?
This jacket is a waterproof shell. While it will block snow, it does not have built-in insulation, so we recommend wearing a warm fleece or thermal layer underneath.
What do the breathability ratings mean?
The 3000g/m²/24hrs rating indicates how much moisture can pass through the fabric. It ensures that while the jacket keeps water out, it allows sweat to evaporate during activity.
Are the pockets waterproof?
The pockets feature zip fastenings to keep items secure, but they are not fully waterproof, so avoid storing electronics directly in them during heavy rain.
Can the hood be removed?
The hood is a fixed, integrated part of the jacket design to ensure maximum coverage and protection against the elements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less waterproof over time
The exterior DWR coating may have worn off. Consider using a wash-in re-waterproofing treatment to restore the repellent surface.
Zip is sticking or hard to pull
Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If the zip is clear but still stiff, a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specific zipper lubricant can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, always zip up the main zipper and close the pocket zippers before placing it in the wash. Wash on a gentle, cool cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear, as standard detergents can strip away the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the fabric and reduce breathability. Air drying is recommended; avoid placing the jacket on radiators or near direct high-heat sources to prevent damage to the taped seams. Check the sizing to ensure proper layering room; if you intend to wear thick sweaters underneath, consider if the current fit allows for comfortable movement.
