Why is this a C product?
Dyeing Inconsistencies
Due to variations in fabric dyeing batches, slight color differences may occur between sections. As shown in the photos below, these differences are minimal but worth noting before purchasing.
What is a “C” product
Products offered at discounted prices because they are old versions, discontinued, or they do not meet our quality standard though they are fully functional.。
The color may vary due to uneven dyeing on the fabric used for the inner and outer parts of the product, as well as the piping. Additionally, the color may differ between individual items.

Instructions
Please Note
- The product itself is not waterproof.
- This product adopts an extremely thin waterproof and breathable fabric for the outer shell. Please be cautious about potential damages, tears, from rocks or snagging on trees.
- Regular washing is essential, as accumulation of dirt, sweat, and oils can compromise the fabric’s waterproofness and breathability. To restore water repellency, use a low-heat tumble dryer or a hair dryer. However, repeated washing may strip the coating entirely, making heat treatments ineffective. In such cases, use a commercially available water-repellent detergent to reapply the coating.
- Avoid products containing vaseline, insect repellent, ethanol, or similar substances (e.g., hair creams, cosmetics, sunscreen, or bug sprays). These substances can get into the porous membrane of the outer layer and hinder the breathability/water repellency of the fabric. For cleaning methods, please refer to our Journal; Repair Diary: #2 Removing stains from rainwear.
Care Instructions
- Wash with neutral detergent in water below 40°C.
- Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
- Spot clean with a laundry brush or soft sponge for visible stains.
- Restore water repellency with a low-heat tumble dryer (below 60°C).
- Iron on low heat without steam.
- Avoid dry cleaning.
- Products containing vaseline, insect repellents, or ethanol may cause stains or reduce breathability.
