FAQs
What does the 5000mm waterproof rating mean?
A 5000mm rating indicates that the fabric can withstand 5000mm of water pressure before it starts to leak. This is considered good for moderate rain and general outdoor use.
How breathable is the jacket?
The jacket has a breathability rating of 5000mvp (moisture vapor permeability), which means it allows a moderate amount of perspiration vapor to escape, helping to keep you comfortable during activity.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
This jacket is primarily designed for protection against rain and wind. It offers no insulation, so for cold weather, you will need to wear insulating layers underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a 40°C cycle using a liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and powders. Do not bleach or dry clean.
What is the best way to dry the jacket?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing or packing.
Is this jacket suitable for very heavy rain?
While rated for 5000mm waterproofing and featuring taped seams, it is best suited for moderate to heavy rain. For extreme downpours or prolonged exposure, a jacket with a higher waterproof rating might be more appropriate.
Does the jacket have a hood?
The product description does not specify if a hood is included. Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for confirmation.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt or residue. Apply a specific outdoor fabric re-proofer spray, following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are still sealed.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.
Ensure the inner lining is dry. If carrying a backpack, ensure it's not blocking ventilation. For high-intensity activities, consider removing the jacket during strenuous parts.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket is difficult to pack into its pouch.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry before attempting to pack. Lay the jacket flat and smooth out any major wrinkles before rolling or folding it tightly into the pouch.
