Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Scaly Hooded Zip Jacket is a versatile choice for adult men seeking a reliable outer layer for daily outdoor activities. It provides an excellent balance of wind and water protection through integrated DryFlight technology combined with lightweight warmth from its 285g polyester fiber fill. While it is highly functional for transitional weather and moderate outdoor use, those in need of heavy-duty arctic-grade insulation may find it too lightweight for extreme winter conditions.

Zipper is sticking or difficult to pull

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket in peak condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cold wash cycle with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh fabric softeners as they can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish of the fabric.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible by hanging the garment in a well-ventilated area. If you must use a dryer, use a very low heat setting.
- Storage: Store the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to preserve the loft of the polyester fill.
- Compatibility: The jacket's regular fit allows for standard layering. It pairs well with regular-fit jeans, joggers, or outdoor trousers.
