FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it features Omni-Shield technology which makes the fabric water-resistant. It will protect you from light rain or snow but is not meant for heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in sub-zero temperatures?

It provides good insulation, but for extreme sub-zero conditions, it is best used as a mid-layer beneath a heavier, windproof shell.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

No, this specific model (Powder Lite II) does not include a hood.

How should I wash the Omni-Heat lining?

Wash the jacket inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle to protect the reflective lining, and tumble dry on low heat.

Is the insulation material recycled?

Yes, the Thermarator insulation is made from recycled synthetic fibers.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, it features an interior security pocket for small valuables.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak through the fabric

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be wearing off. Re-apply a fabric-safe water-repellent spray to restore the exterior performance.

Jacket feels less warm than when new

Insulation can become compressed over time. Tumble dry on low with clean tennis balls to fluff the synthetic fill and restore loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio
  • Water and stain resistant exterior
  • Synthetic insulation retains heat when wet
  • Adjustable hem ensures a personalized fit

Cons

  • Not waterproof; only water-resistant
  • Limited to light mountain or urban use
  • Does not feature a hood

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the integrity of the water-repellent coating and the thermal lining, always follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the water-repellent finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it to prevent odors or mildew.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the insulation in a tight storage bag for long periods to maintain the loft of the Thermarator fill.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket is cut in a standard size fit, making it compatible with most base layers underneath. The lack of a hood makes it easy to layer under a heavier shell jacket during extreme storms.
