FAQs about Labo Mono Jackets
How do I wash my Labo Mono waterproof jacket safely?
To wash your Labo Mono waterproof jacket safely, use a mild, eco-friendly detergent designed for technical fabrics. Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, avoid fabric softeners, and steer clear of bleach. Zip everything up before popping it in. Skip the tumble dryer unless the care label allows it - air drying is usually best. To keep your jacket beading like new, give it the occasional reproof with a wash-in or spray-on treatment. For more tips, our Product Care and Repair hub is a handy read over a brew.
Can you re-waterproof a Labo Mono jacket after heavy use?
Yes, you can re-waterproof a Labo Mono jacket after heavy use to top up its water repellency. These jackets come with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) that naturally wears off over time. Just clean the jacket first, then use a wash-in or spray-on treatment made for technical gear. A quick tumble dry (if the label allows) can help activate the coating. Regular reproofing helps your jacket stay storm-ready and looking chipper longer.
What waterproof rating do Labo Mono jackets have?
Labo Mono jackets have a waterproof rating of 20,000mm, meaning they’re tough enough for heavy rain and then some. That’s proper mountain-grade protection - no worries if the heavens open. Fully taped seams and breathable fabrics mean you stay dry without feeling like you’re wearing a greenhouse. Whether you're hiking hills or dodging puddles in the city, these jackets are made to handle British weather with grace.
Which Labo Mono jackets are truly built to last a lifetime?

For DIY types, our seam repair guide is a cracking place to start.
What materials make these jackets more sustainable than standard options?
Labo Mono jackets are more sustainable than standard options because they're made using recycled post-consumer PET bottles. That means less plastic in landfill and more resilience on your back. They also avoid nasty PFC coatings, opting instead for eco-friendly waterproofing. Pair that with low-waste production, repairable designs, and a take-back scheme, and you've got a jacket that’s as kind to the planet as it is practical.
