What should I wear under this waterproof jacket?

This jacket acts as a protective shield (third layer) against wind and rain. It is not designed to provide warmth on its own. In cold conditions, wear a technical base layer underneath, paired with a fleece or insulating jacket (second layer).

How do I wash and care for this waterproof jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C with a specialist detergent (such as NIKWAX or NST) on a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm max). Avoid standard supermarket detergents and fabric softeners at all costs. To reactivate the DWR finish, use a waterproofing spray or tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting.

Does this jacket completely block the wind?

Yes, the waterproof membrane of this model also acts as a full windbreak, preventing cold air from penetrating and chilling the layers you wear underneath.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

Designed for the regular hikers who head out in all weathers, from a half-day outing to a bivvy.

It goes along on outings over mountain terrain where rain can set in and wind can pick up without warning.

This hiker wants a jacket that is reliable and lightweight, able to fit in the pack without taking up all the space.

How should you wear it?

Ideally wear it over a thermal base layer or a lightweight mid layer depending on the temperature.

As an outer layer in rainy, windy or unsettled conditions, to effectively protect your layering system.

Cut designed for layering. We recommend your usual size so it protects effectively without restricting the addition of an insulating layer underneath.

What makes the difference?

Its structure HardShell 3-layer offers a built-to-last and durable barrier against rain and wind on long hikes. Lightweight, it disappears into the pack when the sky clears.

Hiking

The reliable hardshell for walking in the rain

When the rain sets in, discomfort follows quickly. Moisture creeps in, wind chills, the jacket eventually saturates. In hiking, poor protection is enough to break your rhythm and cut the outing short. The CASCADE was designed to create a reliable barrier against the elements, without turning the jacket into a burden. It durably protects against rain and wind, allows moisture to escape more effectively during effort and stays comfortable even as conditions toughen. A jacket designed for moving forward with confidence, even when the sky has other plans. Because in the mountains, staying dry is not a luxury. It's what keeps you walking at the right pace, for longer.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers first appreciate its high quality, faithful colours and elegant look. Many find it well-fitted, comfortable and roomy enough to wear a sweater or fleece underneath; it also folds easily into a backpack. In the rain, one customer found it perfectly waterproof and breathable during a rowing session, while several praised its protection against the wind. However, the length and fit can vary, so check the size guide and choose according to the layers you plan to wear.
