Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a waterproof rating of 5000mm, which is suitable for moderate to heavy rain. For prolonged exposure to extreme downpours, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
How do I know if I need to re-waterproof the jacket?
You should consider re-waterproofing if water no longer beads up and roll off the fabric surface, instead soaking into the material.
Can I wear this jacket in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for waterproofing and windproofing. It offers minimal insulation. For cold weather, it is best worn as an outer shell layer over insulating garments like fleece or down jackets.
What does 'packaway' mean?
'Packaway' means the jacket can be folded or rolled into a small, compact size, usually into its own pocket or an included pouch, making it very easy to carry when not in use.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is grown-on, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket. It is adjustable for a better fit.
What is the breathability rating?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000g/m²/24hrs, indicating it allows a moderate amount of moisture vapor to pass through the fabric.
Can this jacket be worn by men and women?
Yes, the jacket is designed as unisex, making it suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt and oils. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high moisture output. Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted properly for airflow. Layer with breathable clothing underneath. If possible, open the main zipper slightly.
Jacket is difficult to pack away
Ensure the jacket is completely clean and dry before attempting to pack it into its pouch. Fold or roll it neatly to fit into the designated storage space.

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores and reduce breathability and water repellency.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
- Re-waterproofing: For optimal performance, it is recommended to re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish periodically, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface. Follow the product instructions for the chosen DWR treatment.
