Women's Exmoor Waterproof Jacket

What runs and hikes is this jacket best for?

Designed for long distance trail running or hiking in wet conditions. It has been thoughtfully designed to provide lots of useful details that can make all the difference on the trails.

What waterproof rating is it?

Our waterproof jackets and trousers are 15,000mm which is suitable for use in moderate rain.

Your jacket is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) layer that causes water to 'bead' on the surface rather than soaking in. DWR treatments slowly wear out over time which can cause it to start absorbing water and lose breathability.

How breathable is it?

Constructed from soft 4-way-stretch fabric, it is comfortable, non-rustle, highly breathable with a rating of 15,000g/m2.

Pit zips and a press stud feature on the central zip allow further manual air flow.

We would recommend wearing a thin, long sleeve layer under your jacket, rather than a t-shirt, as this will help keep you more comfortable when running. 

How do I wash and reproof my jacket?

We recommend using a specialist system for waterproof garments such as from Grangers. Their range includes things like Grangers 2 in 1 wash and re-proof which can be used every 6 to 12 months, depending how much you use it. Please follow the wash instructions on the Grangers or other technical product you are using carefully. Not doing this may result in reduced waterproof ability of the garment.

What race minimum safety features does it have?

It has fully taped seams and an attached hood to ensure it is suitable for most mandatory race requirements. Please check against your specific race requirements to make sure.

The hood is peaked and three-way adjustable to ensure a snug fit that moves with your head.

Can I wear it over as well as under my race vest?

Yes! A subtle, pleated back section means you can wear your jacket over a race vest or backpack. Ideal for protection against intermittent rain showers or when you want to keep your kit extra dry.

The A symmetrical front zips allow you to access your race vest front pockets more easily on the move.

Worn under a race vest, there are silicone grippers on the shoulders to minimise movement and increase durability.

How much does it weigh?

At 340g it isn't the lightest jacket on the market, but the Exmoor is designed to be worn and provide you with protection and comfort in poor weather conditions. Not to be stashed in a bag to pass a kit check! We hope this jacket will be a favourite piece of kit, designed to be worn from the door on long runs, and to keep you dry and comfortable  when you need it most. 

How can I store my jacket when I am not wearing it?

Our nifty bumbag feature allows you to roll down the jacket quickly and carry around your waist comfortably.
