FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for very cold, sub-zero temperatures?

The jacket is designed for skiing and winter sports with padded insulation. For very cold temperatures (e.g., below -10°C or 14°F), layering with thermal base and mid-layers is recommended for optimal warmth.

How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR treatment?

If water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric, but instead soaks in or darkens the material, it's time to reapply the DWR treatment following the product's specific instructions.

Can I use a regular washing machine detergent?

No, it is crucial to avoid regular detergents, fabric softeners, and biological washes. Use a specialized technical wash designed for outdoor apparel to preserve the fabric's performance.

What is the benefit of the detachable snowskirt?

The detachable snowskirt is a barrier that fits around your waist inside the jacket. It prevents snow from entering the jacket if you fall or when skiing in deep powder.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid prolonged storage in plastic bags, which can trap moisture. Hanging is ideal.

What does 'snowproof' mean in relation to this jacket?

Snowproof means the fabric is designed to prevent snow from penetrating its surface, helping to keep the wearer dry during snow-related activities.

Does the jacket have a warranty?

Specific warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale or on the manufacturer's official website. Please check the product packaging or the Mountain Warehouse website for details.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and oils. Follow the care instructions to wash and then tumble dry on a low heat or iron on a low setting (with a protective towel) to reactivate the DWR finish. If necessary, reapply a DWR treatment spray.

Zipper is sticking

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free the fabric. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less warm than usual

The insulation may have compressed or lost some loft. Ensure the jacket is clean and try reactivating the DWR finish through drying or ironing. For significant loss of warmth, consider layering with additional thermal clothing underneath.

Snowskirt is difficult to attach/detach

Ensure the snowskirt is correctly aligned with its attachment points. Check for any obstructions or debris. If the fasteners are stiff, gently work them back and forth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: This jacket requires no complex setup. Simply unpack and adjust it to your body using the available features.

Compatibility: Designed for skiing and winter sports. It is compatible with standard ski gear such as ski pants, helmets, and gloves.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C (86°F) on a gentle cycle with a technical wash solution.
  2. Detergent: Do NOT use biological detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the fabric's waterproof and breathable properties.
  3. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  4. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a couple of towels to help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. If tumble drying is not possible, hang to dry and iron on a low setting (without steam) after it has dried, placing a towel between the iron and the jacket.
  5. Re-waterproofing: Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain the jacket's water-repellent capabilities.
