BLOG: The "STRATUS-R" Jacket Re-Issue (Drops 6/19/26)

THE STRATUS-R JACKET IS BACK & UPDATED

”Mission Grade Outerwear”


A new era in the evolution of QILO.

In December 2025, we proudly introduced the STRATUS-R - our first true rain/storm shell utilizing Gore-Tex level performance & technology.

The 2026 re-issue incorporates a few new updates:

  • Enlarged hood/collar to accommodate helmets

  • Silver reflective prints of technical features on jacket interior left pocket

  • Official MultiCam® hangtags supplied directly by Crye Precision (not a jacket feature, just cool)

Silver reflective prints of technical features on jacket interior left pocket

The Stratus-R is built for year-round rain/storms as well as winter snow.

Constructed of a 3-layer laminate fabric consisting of a nylon outer shell, a middle membrane, and an inner liner, bonded together for maximum weather protection and durability. This construction provides a waterproof, breathable, and windproof material, with the inner layer protecting the membrane and the outer layer providing abrasion resistance.

The interior is seam-taped to prevent water leakage through seam/stitch lines and embroidery hits.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1

Use a neutral detergent or a specialized cleaner for waterproof jackets with lukewarm water (below 30°C). Do not soak the jacket. Use a soft brush to gently scrub stains only on heavily soiled areas.

Step 2

Rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water to remove all detergent. Do not wring the jacket. Hang it to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Avoid high-temperature ironing and frequent washing.

Step 3

With professional guidance, periodically restore the jacket’s waterproof performance using a suitable waterproofing agent.

Reminder

Waterproof jackets must be hand-washed only. Do not machine wash, spin-dry, or dry clean, as this may damage the waterproof coating or cause seam tape to separate. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
