FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant thanks to the Omni-Shield finish, which repels light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged or used in heavy rain.

Does it contain real down feathers?

No, it uses 100% recycled polyester Thermarator insulation, which is a synthetic alternative to down.

Can this be worn for skiing?

It works well for light skiing in mild conditions as a layer, but lacks features like a pass pocket or snow skirt found on dedicated technical ski gear.

How do I know if it fits correctly?

The jacket should allow for a comfortable range of motion. Ensure the hem drawcord is loose enough to allow layering underneath without restricting movement.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle, provided you avoid harsh chemicals or fabric softeners.

Troubleshooting

Water soaking into the fabric surface.

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be wearing off. Clean the garment according to instructions and consider reapplying a synthetic-safe DWR spray.

Insulation feels flat or loses loft.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat for 15-20 minutes with a dryer ball to restore the loft of the recycled polyester fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction prevents bulk during active play
  • Thermal lining effectively traps body heat
  • Environmentally conscious PFAS-free finish
  • Synthetic insulation performs well even if it gets slightly wet
  • Durable polyester material built for rugged outdoor use

Cons

  • Not intended for heavy, prolonged rain exposure
  • Does not feature internal snow gaiters for deep powder conditions
  • Requires machine washing with specific care to maintain insulation fluff

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To keep the jacket functioning at its best, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the repellency finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Including a clean tennis ball in the dryer can help fluff the synthetic insulation.
  3. Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to preserve the loft of the insulation.
  4. Compatibility: The slim-profile design allows it to be used as an effective mid-layer underneath a larger, waterproof ski shell for extreme winter activities.
