Frequently Asked Questions
Is this shell actually waterproof?
A: Yes. It uses a 3-layer waterproof/breathable laminate with taped seams to handle sustained rain and wind.
How small does it pack down?
A: The jacket self-stows into one of its own pockets, compressing to a size that fits easily in a daypack or travel bag.
What does the recycled fabric mean for performance?
A: The recycled nylon is engineered to the same waterproof/breathable standard as virgin material, so you get full weather protection with a lower-impact face fabric.
Can I layer it over a fleece?
A: Yes. The regular fit leaves room for a base layer or light fleece. For a thick insulator, size up.
How do I keep it performing?
A: Wash cold with a technical wash, avoid fabric softener, and tumble dry low to reactivate the DWR. Re-apply spray-on DWR when water stops beading.
