Product Information

Full details

The Columbia Arctic Blast II Insulated Ski Jacket is designed for active kids who need reliable protection against cold, wintry conditions on the mountain. By combining Thermarator insulation for heat retention with Omni-Shield advanced repellency to block moisture, this jacket ensures comfort during long days in the snow. While it provides excellent thermal efficiency and essential ski-specific features, users should note that the insulation is fixed and non-removable, meaning the jacket is best suited for cold climates rather than rapidly fluctuating temperatures.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features Omni-Shield advanced repellency, which is highly water-resistant and protects against snow and light rain, though it is not categorized as fully seam-sealed waterproof gear.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Do not bleach or use heavy-duty fabric softeners.

Is the hood removable?

No, the hood is permanently attached to ensure maximum protection against the elements.

Does it have a ski pass pocket?

Yes, it includes a dedicated ski pass pocket for easy access at lift gates.

Is it suitable for spring skiing?

Because of the high-performance Thermarator insulation, it may be too warm for mild spring days, but it is ideal for winter mountain conditions.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking into the fabric surface.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a technical fabric water-repellent spray.

Powder skirt does not stay in place.

Ensure the garment is the correct size. The silicone grippers require contact with the inner base layer to function effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the longevity of your Arctic Blast II jacket, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath to ensure the insulation can effectively manage body heat.
  2. Cleaning: Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the Omni-Shield repellency.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
  4. Repellency Maintenance: If water stops beading on the surface, use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear.
  5. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry closet. Avoid leaving it compressed in a storage bin for long periods, as this can affect the loft of the insulation.
