FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features DryFlight technology, which provides reliable protection against wind and water, though it is categorized as water-resistant rather than fully waterproof.
What does a WarmFlight rating of 2/3 mean?
It indicates the jacket is engineered for high-loft insulation that provides significant warmth while maintaining a low-bulk profile, suitable for most cold-weather activities.
Can I wear this in deep snow?
While it offers great protection, it is designed for everyday adventures. For deep, extended time in snow, you may want a dedicated shell over this layer.
How should I wash the jacket?
Use a gentle machine wash cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals.
Is the hood removable?
The hood is an integrated part of the jacket design and is not removable.
Troubleshooting
Water beading is no longer effective on the outer shell
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a spray-on fabric water repellent treatment designed for outdoor jackets.
Insulation feels compressed or lumpy
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with a couple of clean tennis balls to help redistribute the internal insulation fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the DryFlight and WarmFlight technologies, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Always machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water using mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If you must use a dryer, choose a low-heat setting to prevent damage to the insulating fibers.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a sturdy hanger to maintain its shape and loft.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed for standard adult fits (XXL in this instance). It is cut to accommodate a base layer or a thin fleece underneath without restricting movement.
