FAQs

Is this jacket machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle, but always ensure all zippers are closed first.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is permanently attached for better weather protection, though it is fully adjustable.

Can I store my lift pass in a pocket?

Yes, the jacket features a dedicated ski pass pocket specifically for this purpose.

Will this keep my child warm in sub-zero temperatures?

The recycled insulation is designed for high-performance warmth, though it should be layered with appropriate thermal base layers for extreme cold.

What is the purpose of the silicone grippers on the powder skirt?

The silicone grippers help the powder skirt adhere to the child's base layers, creating a more effective seal against snow infiltration.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to soak into the fabric instead of beading off

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated or reapplied; follow the manufacturer's drying instructions or use a spray-on DWR treatment.

Powder skirt is uncomfortable or causing bulk

Ensure the silicone grippers are positioned correctly against the mid-layer; if not in deep snow, the skirt can often be snapped up inside the jacket.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio using recycled insulation
  • Comprehensive waterproof and repellent exterior
  • Snow-specific features like the internal powder skirt
  • Multiple specialized pockets for ski gear and electronics
  • Adjustable hood for improved coverage

Cons

  • Heavier feel due to specialized ski features and insulation
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproof coating
  • Not intended for extreme heat or spring-like conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the jacket, close all zippers and hook-and-loop fasteners before laundering. Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof finish. Tumble dry on low heat. To reactivate the water-repellent exterior, the jacket can be dried on a low-heat setting periodically. For best performance, pair this jacket with moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration during intense exercise.
