Maj Villacorta yeah the one who specializes in suits para alam talaga nila i-handle yun. Haven't cleaned my jacket yet, takot ako baka masira ko agad waterproofing nya hehe. Wala pa naman amoy since sa campsite ko lang ginagamit.

yung mga binili nyong jacket, original man o peke, may manual po yan kung papano ang tamang paglilinis, nakadikit din yung manual sa tag price nya, para naman sa mga bumili ng 2nd hand o sa ukay ukay, tama lahat ng sinabi ni ser Ton Sadol,, or ibabad lang sa tubig na walang sabon, at isampay sa mahangin na lugar, huwag sa init ng araw, yan po ang tamang pag-aalaga ng jacket na gamit sa mountaineering, pero yung jacket na gamit sa winter season lang at hindi sa mountaineering, pwedeng washing machine.

Technology Overview
HyVent™ Fabrics

HyVent™: A superior, waterproof, breathable technology utilizing a
polyurethane (PU) coating that consists of a tri-component mutli-layer
formula for waterproof protection, moisture permeability and durability.
This technology has been lab tested in The North Face® Quality Assurance lab
to ensure the best possible durability and function while also maintaining a
comfortable level of breathability. The minimum level of breathability
achieved using HyVent™ is: 600 g/m²/24 hours on the Moisture Vapor Transfer
Rate scale.

To test the level of waterproofness, we subjected HyVent™ garments to 20
wash cycles, where garments retained an average of more than 60 PSI on the
waterproofing Mullens Test.

In addition to lab testing, HyVent™ garments have also been heavily
field-tested. The North Face athlete Rick Armstrong, a skier and mountaineer
who has many first descents, said, “This technology keeps me out in the
storms, catching the best snow long after most people have gone inside. It’s
just as good-if not better-than anything else on the market.”

HyVent™ Alpha: A fabric used in the Summit Series™ collection, this burly,
waterproof fabric utilizes a microporous, hydrophobic lamination technology
that retains its capabilities in even the most severs conditions. Its
laminate membrane, consisting of nearly half a million holes per square
inch, allows perspiration to pass through the jacket before it condenses to
liquid; keeping you dry, warm, and comfortable.

HyVent™ DT: Using the same principle as HyVent™ coating but reducing the
thickness of the third layer, this waterproof fabric is lightweight,
packable, and more breathable than other unlined treated fabrics. HyVent™ DT
is created by applying a polyurethane (PU) coating with a DT print matrix
which acts as a dry-touch, half-layer coating. The DT half layer adds
durability and comfort by physically separating the HyVent™ DT PU coating
from the skin. HyVent™ DT eliminates the need for a liner and is commonly
referred to as a 2.5-layer fabric.

HyVent™ 3-Layer Fabric: Utilizing a three-layer construction to stay
simultaneously breathable and waterproof in extreme conditions, this fabric
excels in any exploration. The durable woven outer layer protects the wearer
from abrasion, while the mid-layer utilizes a polyurethane coating and micro
pores to channel water vapor from the inner layer to the outer, while
keeping water out. The comfortable inner layer is also engineered to manage
moisture, channeling it up to the micro pores. The end result is a superior
waterproof, breathable technology that stays dry inside and out.
