- Is the Hikesteller warm enough for winter?
- It is a mid-weight synthetic parka, good for cool to cold, wet days with a sweater underneath. For hard freezing weather, most people need a heavier down or insulated coat.
- Is it fully waterproof?
- Yes. The membrane and water-repellent finish are designed to keep rain and wind out. Seams and the zip are the usual weak points over long wet spells, so reproof it when water stops beading.
- How does it fit?
- It has a regular fit with a shaped waist and a long hem. If you plan to layer thick fleeces, consider sizing up.
- Can I wear it for hiking?
- Yes. It is breathable and cut for movement, and the hood and pockets suit trail use. It is heavier and longer than a dedicated hiking shell.
- How should I wash it?
- Use a technical wash rather than regular detergent, and tumble low or iron gently to reactivate the water-repellent finish. Avoid fabric softener.
- Does it have an inner pocket?
- Yes, there is an inner pocket plus outer zip pockets, and the two-way zip lets you open it from the bottom.
