FAQs
Is this jacket machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable. We recommend using a technical outerwear detergent, washing in cold water on a gentle cycle, and tumble drying on low heat.
Does the hood fit over a helmet?
Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible and includes adjusters to ensure a secure fit.
Is the powder skirt removable?
No, the powder skirt is integrated into the jacket design to provide the best seal against snow ingress.
What temperature is this jacket rated for?
While specific temperature ratings vary by user, the Heatseeker Eco insulation is suitable for standard cold-weather resort skiing conditions.
Where is the goggle wipe located?
The goggle wipe is conveniently located inside the secure-zip wrist pocket.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry it on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zippers are sticking or becoming difficult to pull.
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or salt buildup. Applying a small amount of zipper lubricant can restore smooth operation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the DryVent membrane, avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners when laundering. Wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish. The jacket is designed to integrate seamlessly with standard ski helmets, though the hood adjustment toggles should be tightened for a secure fit during high-speed descents. Always ensure the powder skirt is snapped and secure before entering deep snow to maximize the jacket's protective properties.
