FAQs
What is the waterproof rating of this jacket?
The jacket features 20K DryFlight® technology, indicating a waterproof rating of 20,000mm.
How warm is the insulation?
It uses WarmFlight® x2 Eco insulation, designed to provide reliable warmth suitable for most winter conditions when layered appropriately.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
The jacket provides good insulation and waterproofing, but for extreme cold, layering with a warm base layer and mid-layer is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a technical wash, and tumble dry on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
What does '20K DryFlight®' mean?
It refers to the hydrostatic head test result, meaning the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000 millimeters high before leaking, signifying excellent waterproofing.
Can I use this jacket for activities other than skiing/snowboarding?
Yes, its waterproof and insulated features make it suitable for various outdoor winter activities like hiking or general cold-weather wear.
What is the benefit of the brushed knit lining?
The brushed knit lining adds extra warmth by trapping air and provides a softer feel against the skin, while also aiding in breathability and moisture management.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product. Ensure the jacket is completely dry afterward.
Jacket feels cold despite insulation
Consider adding a mid-layer (like a fleece or thermal base layer) for additional warmth. The jacket is designed to be part of a layering system.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no debris caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax if needed.
Lining feels damp after activity
This could be due to perspiration. Ensure the jacket's vents (if any) are open and consider wearing a moisture-wicking base layer underneath. Proper drying after use is also crucial.
