Product Information
Full details
The Quiksilver Scaly Hooded Jacket is an ideal choice for active adults looking for a versatile outer layer that balances insulation with mobility. Engineered for everyday adventures, this jacket utilizes Quiksilver's proprietary DryFlight technology to shield you from wind and light precipitation while maintaining a low-bulk profile. While it offers excellent warmth-to-weight performance, it is primarily designed as a transitional piece rather than a heavy-duty expedition parka for extreme sub-zero conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features DryFlight technology for water-resistant protection against light rain and wind, but it is not considered fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
What does the WarmFlight 2/3 rating mean?
This rating indicates a mid-level warmth capacity designed to provide significant insulation without the bulk of a heavy winter coat.
Can I wear this while skiing?
While it can provide warmth in mild conditions, it lacks specific ski-ready features like powder skirts or pass pockets, so it is best suited for casual wear.
How should I wash this jacket?
Use a cold, gentle machine cycle with mild soap, and always air dry to maintain the integrity of the fabric and insulation.
Does this jacket have an adjustable hood?
The hood is designed for a streamlined fit to stay close to the head to protect against wind.
Troubleshooting
Water-repellency seems to be fading
After washing, use a tumble dry on low heat or re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic technical fabrics.
Static buildup on the lining
Lightly mist the inside of the jacket with water or use a dedicated anti-static spray before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no technical setup; it is ready to wear immediately. When considering compatibility, remember that this is a slim-to-regular fit; if you intend to wear heavy sweaters beneath it, ensure you check your layering space. To maintain the effectiveness of the DryFlight coating and the loft of the insulation, machine wash the jacket on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners which can degrade the water-resistant treatment. Air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape and longevity of the synthetic insulation.
