FAQs
What is GORE-TEX® laminate?
GORE-TEX® laminate is a waterproof yet breathable membrane used in high-performance outerwear. It prevents water from entering while allowing perspiration vapor to escape.
How does the RECCO® reflector work?
The RECCO® reflector is a passive electronic transponder. It has no battery and requires no activation. When searching, rescuers use a RECCO® detector that bounces a radar signal off the reflector to pinpoint your location.
Can I wear this jacket in warm weather?
Yes, the jacket's high breathability makes it suitable for warmer weather when protection from wind or light rain is needed, especially during physical activity. You can also adjust ventilation by opening the front zip.
What is the best way to store the jacket?
Store the jacket clean and dry in a cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid prolonged storage in plastic bags or sealed containers, which can damage the fabric's breathability and DWR coating.
How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?
Re-waterproof the jacket when you notice that water no longer beads up and rolls off the surface, typically after several washes or significant wear.
What size Moncler Grenoble Shipton Jacket do I have?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof (water soaks in)
Wash the jacket following the care instructions to clean the fabric. If water still soaks in after washing and drying, apply a new DWR treatment.
Reduced breathability
Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the GORE-TEX® membrane. Wash according to care instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a silicone-based zipper lubricant.
Elasticated cuffs feel loose
Inspect the elastic for signs of wear. The cuffs are designed to be snug; if they have significantly stretched, repair may be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Shipton jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket is suitable for a wide range of outdoor activities. It layers effectively over mid-layers for added warmth.
Care Instructions: To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX® fabric, follow these guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using powdered detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can clog the membrane's pores.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes to reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If you don't have a tumble dryer, hang the jacket to air dry, and then iron it on a low setting (no steam) with a towel placed between the iron and the jacket.
- Re-waterproofing: When water no longer beads on the surface, apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions.
