FAQs

Is the hood helmet-compatible?

Yes, the PIVOT 2 hood system is designed to be fully adjustable and compatible with mountaineering helmets.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket has a regular fit, allowing room for layering. Order your standard size unless you plan on wearing very bulky insulation underneath.

Can this jacket be used for skiing?

Yes, the waterproof and windproof properties are well-suited for ski mountaineering, though it lacks a dedicated snow skirt.

What material is the shell made from?

The jacket is constructed from high-durability Nylon in a 3-layer laminate configuration.

Are the zippers waterproof?

They feature YKK AQUAGUARD technology, which provides a high degree of water resistance, though they are not submersible.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the outer fabric

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical gear cleaner and apply a fresh DWR treatment.

Condensation building up inside the jacket

Adjust the pit zip ventilation to improve airflow or remove excess insulating layers to match your exertion level.

Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water to remove grit, then use a dry lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional water and wind protection
  • Highly breathable for intense exertion
  • Environmentally conscious zipper materials
  • Durable nylon construction for rugged terrain
  • Versatile hood adjustment options

Cons

  • Heavier than lightweight packable shells
  • Over-engineered for casual hiking
  • Price reflects specialized technical construction

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane, ensure that the front YKK AQUAGUARD zippers are fully closed during storms. When storing the jacket, avoid compressing it for extended periods to preserve the membrane's structure. For cleaning, use a technical outer-layer cleaner specifically designed for nylon waterproof fabrics. Regular reproofing with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray will prevent the face fabric from wetting out, ensuring the jacket remains breathable during heavy rain.
