Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter mountaineering?

Yes, the 140 gsm insulation and high waterproof rating make it suitable for cold, wet conditions, though you may need a technical mid-layer for extreme sub-zero temperatures.

Does it have pit zips?

No, this model focuses on the breathability of the ISOTEX 20000 membrane rather than mechanical venting.

Can I put this in the tumble dryer?

It is recommended to air dry, but some DWR treatments require a short, low-heat cycle in a tumble dryer to reactivate the coating. Always check the specific care label inside your garment.

How should I store it for long periods?

Keep it hanging in a dry, ventilated area to ensure the insulation remains fluffy and the outer fabric does not develop mold.

What does the 20,000 g/m² breathability rating mean?

This indicates that 20,000 grams of water vapor can pass through a square meter of the fabric over a 24-hour period, confirming high breathability for active pursuits.

Troubleshooting

Water is soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off

The DWR finish has worn off; wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR re-proofing spray.

Condensation building up inside the jacket during activity

Adjust the pit vents if available, or partially open the front zip to increase airflow while maintaining protection.

Hood keeps falling over eyes

Utilize the rear adjuster to pull the hood back and mold the wired peak to provide structural stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof rating of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours
  • Stretch fabric allows for greater freedom of movement during active hikes
  • Ample storage options including inner security pocket
  • Wired hood peak provides superior wind and rain protection
  • Durable water repellent finish sheds light rain effectively

Cons

  • Padded insulation may be too warm for high-intensity activity in milder temperatures
  • The 140 gsm padding adds bulk compared to non-insulated shell jackets
  • Requires regular re-proofing to maintain water repellency

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your jacket, ensure you adjust all shock cords and cuffs to your specific size before entering exposed terrain.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Use a technical gear wash specifically designed for waterproof membranes. Avoid standard detergents, which can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the waterproof tape.
  • Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface of the jacket, apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment to restore the exterior protection.
  • Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a hanger to prevent the insulation from compressing permanently.
