Q: Are the drawstrings really going to be paracord? In the photos and video doesn't really look like it is.

A: You’re right, the drawstrings in the photos and videos are not paracord, but rest assured your jacket will come with type 550 military grade paracord when it arrives at your doorstep.

Q: I'd like to choose a custom color paracord but also want the original color that comes with the jacket. What should I do?

A: Every Active Anorak jacket will be shipped with the original matching paracord drawstring installed. If you choose a custom color you will receive your custom drawstring kit which includes your second set of drawstrings and detailed instructions on how to swap them out. This method gives you the freedom to change out the hood or body drawstring, both, or even swap between the two based on the season or your outfit.

What is the water repellency of this jacket in technical terms?

We called and spoke with the manufacturer today - they do not rate their fabrics on mm scale. They were able to share the type of DWR finish the material has which is “C6” If we were to estimate, and this is only an estimate we would thing this fabric would fall between 6-10k on the mm scale.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
