Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for winter skiing?

Yes, its waterproof and windproof capabilities make it an excellent outer shell for alpine skiing, especially when paired with appropriate insulating layers.

Does it have pit zips for ventilation?

This model utilizes the inherent breathability of the Futurelight membrane for climate control, and it does not feature traditional underarm pit zips.

How should I wash this jacket?

Use a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical fabric cleaner, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low heat to maintain the waterproof integrity.

What does the '3L' in the description stand for?

3L refers to a 3-layer construction, where the protective membrane is bonded between a durable outer face fabric and an inner lining for maximum longevity.

Can I fit a climbing helmet under the hood?

The hood is designed with adjustability in mind, though it is primarily optimized for a comfortable fit over the head; it may vary depending on the bulk of your specific helmet.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric rather than beading up

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off; wash the garment and apply a recommended DWR re-waterproofing spray, then tumble dry on low heat.

Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating

Ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers; the jacket is highly breathable, but heavy cotton layers underneath will hold onto sweat and make you feel wet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior breathability compared to standard waterproof shells
  • Highly durable polyester construction with non-PFC DWR finish
  • Comprehensive adjustability at the hood, cuffs, and hem
  • Generous relaxed fit allows for effective layering underneath

Cons

  • Relaxed fit may be too loose for those preferring a slim, tailored aesthetic
  • Requires proper maintenance to keep the DWR finish functional
  • Premium feature set reflects a higher complexity compared to basic rain jackets

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the Futurelight membrane, it is essential to follow specific care instructions. Wash the jacket in cold water using a technical gear detergent to avoid clogging the membrane pores with standard soap residue. Always tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the non-PFC durable water repellent (DWR) finish.

Regarding compatibility, the jacket is designed with a relaxed fit, making it highly compatible with mid-layer fleece or synthetic insulation pieces. If you plan on wearing the jacket for technical climbing, ensure the chest pockets remain accessible beneath your climbing harness straps. Always check the Velcro cuffs before storing to prevent lint buildup, which can weaken the closure over time.
