FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, it features high-warmth padding specifically engineered for cold mountain environments.
Can I wear this for activities other than skiing?
Absolutely. Its technical performance and windproof properties make it excellent for winter hiking or general cold-weather use.
What does 35/35K mean?
These are ratings for waterproofness (35,000mm) and breathability (35,000g/m²/24h), indicating high-tier protection and moisture management.
Does it have a snow skirt?
The jacket is built with integrated ski-specific features to ensure a protective fit while on the mountain.
How should I store the jacket after the season?
Store it clean and dry in a cool, dark place on a sturdy hanger to maintain the shape of the padding and fabric integrity.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating has likely worn off. Wash with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray treatment to restore bead-off performance.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof shell
This is often a sign of sweat accumulation. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton to allow the breathability of the jacket to function properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the longevity and performance of your jacket, adhere to these care guidelines: 1. Always zip up all closures before washing. 2. Use a technical garment cleaner designed for waterproof shells rather than standard detergent. 3. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. 4. Tumble dry on a low setting or air dry away from direct heat to help reactivate the water-repellent finish. The jacket is designed to be compatible with standard base and mid-layers; its stretch construction allows for layering without restricting movement.
