Product Information
Full details
The DLX Matthews Ski Jacket is an essential outer layer for adult outdoor enthusiasts seeking a balance of technical performance and everyday comfort during cold-weather activities. It utilizes innovative Down Touch Filling to offer superior thermal insulation without the bulk or ethical concerns of traditional down, making it an excellent choice for unpredictable mountain environments; however, users should note that as a synthetic-filled garment, it requires careful drying after heavy exposure to moisture to maintain its loft.

FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
The jacket features a water-repellent centre front zipper and protective materials, but it is categorized as a high-performance ski jacket rather than a fully submerged waterproof suit.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is designed to be easily zipped off when not required.
What is Down Touch filling?
It is a synthetic insulation technology designed to mimic the heat-trapping properties of natural down feathers while being easier to maintain.
How should I store the jacket in the off-season?
Store it in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry area. Avoid compressing the jacket under heavy items for long periods.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
It provides excellent insulation for typical ski conditions; for extreme temperatures, it is recommended to use a moisture-wicking base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
The main zipper is sticking or difficult to pull.
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dried snow, and apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant if necessary.
The jacket feels less warm after washing.
The synthetic fill may have clumped; tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your DLX Matthews Ski Jacket, ensure you use the adjustable hood toggles to secure a custom fit around your head or helmet. For cleaning, avoid harsh chemical detergents. It is recommended to use a technical wash specifically formulated for synthetic insulated garments. Always close all zippers before washing, and if machine drying, use a low heat setting with clean tennis balls in the dryer to help re-loft the synthetic fill. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
