FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is designed for windproofing and breathability during high-energy activities, not for heavy or sustained rainfall.

Can I wear this under a rain shell?

Yes, because of its slim, active profile, it functions very well as a mid-layer under a heavier hardshell jacket.

How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?

Locate the designated stow pocket, turn it inside out, and feed the rest of the jacket into it until fully contained.

What does 'Active fit' mean?

It refers to a slim, athletic cut designed to move with your body, reducing excess material that might snag during climbing.

Is the hood helmet-compatible?

The Mountain Hood is designed for extra coverage, but its primary purpose is a streamlined fit; it may fit over low-profile climbing helmets.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside during exercise

Ensure you are using a moisture-wicking base layer; the jacket's lining works best when it can transfer sweat away from your primary base layer.

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Check the YKK track for dirt or grit; clean with a soft brush and consider applying a dedicated zipper lubricant if necessary.

Drawcords are not holding tension

Ensure the tether is threaded correctly through the lock mechanism and there is no fabric trapped in the toggle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent breathability for high-output activities
  • Highly wind-resistant fabric construction
  • Lightweight and compact enough for minimal pack space
  • Articulated sleeves allow for unrestricted climbing movement
  • Stretchy material ensures an athletic, comfortable fit

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof for heavy rain exposure
  • Slim active fit may feel restrictive if layering heavily underneath
  • Limited to moderate temperature ranges

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the EXOLITE 45 fabric and the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking lining, follow these guidelines:

  1. Layering: Wear this as a mid-layer or outer layer in moderate conditions; its active fit is optimized for base layers.
  2. Storage: When not in use, utilize the integrated pocket for compact storage. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before keeping it compressed for long durations.
  3. Cleaning: Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical garment cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the windproof integrity and moisture-wicking properties.
  4. Drying: Air dry whenever possible. If machine drying is necessary, use the lowest heat setting to prevent damage to the elasticated cuffs and drawcords.
