FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the synthetic down insulation?

Synthetic down insulation provides excellent warmth and loft, similar to natural down, but maintains its insulating properties even when damp and is generally easier to care for.

How do I achieve a more regular fit if I prefer it over the oversized style?

For a more fitted look, it is recommended to choose one size smaller than your usual size when purchasing this jacket.

Can I use fabric softener when washing the jacket?

No, fabric softener should not be used as it can degrade the performance of the waterproof and breathable membrane and affect the insulation.

What is the purpose of the storm cuffs with thumbholes?

These cuffs are designed to provide an extra layer of protection against cold and wind by sealing the gap around the wrist and preventing snow from entering the sleeves. The thumbholes keep them securely in place.

How often should I re-apply the water-repellent treatment?

The frequency depends on usage and care. If water no longer beads on the surface after washing and drying, it's time to reactivate the treatment as per the care instructions.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?

Yes, the synthetic down insulation and protective shell are designed for cold temperatures, making it suitable for skiing and other winter activities. Layering may be necessary for extremely low temperatures.

What is the benefit of the integrated snow skirt?

The integrated snow skirt is a barrier that prevents snow and cold air from entering the jacket from the waist area, which is especially useful during activities like skiing or snowboarding.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the synthetic down insulation is properly fluffed. Tumble dry with tennis balls or gently shake to redistribute the insulation. Check that all zippers and closures are secured to prevent drafts.

Water is not beading on the outer fabric.

The water-repellent finish may need to be reactivated. Follow the care instructions for ironing the outer fabric to restore repellency, or consider a professional re-waterproofing treatment.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

This jacket requires no assembly. It is designed for immediate wear. For optimal care and longevity:

  1. Washing: Close all zippers before washing. Wash inside out on a quick machine wash cycle (maximum 30 minutes). Avoid using bleach or fabric softener.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Remove the jacket immediately after drying and add three tennis balls to the dryer to help restore the loft of the synthetic down insulation.
