No, it features a 5000 mm waterproof rating with DWR, making it highly water-resistant for light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof hardshell for extreme weather.
Its windproof and flexible nature makes it suitable for dry, clear-weather skiing, but it may not provide enough insulation or moisture protection for deep snow conditions.
Machine wash in cool water using a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
Yes, the hood is designed with a stiffened peak for better protection and can be adjusted for a secure fit around the head.
Yes, the performance fabric is engineered to be flexible, supporting unrestricted movement during strenuous mountain activities.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has likely worn off. Wash the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment to restore performance.
Check for fabric debris caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the zipper path with a soft brush and avoid forcing it, which could damage the track.
To maintain the integrity of the water-resistant coating, wash the jacket in cool water with a technical outerwear detergent. Avoid using traditional fabric softeners, as these can clog the breathability of the fabric and degrade the DWR treatment. The jacket is designed to be worn over a base layer or a thin fleece. To restore water repellency after several washes, you may apply a spray-on DWR treatment to the outer fabric. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent snagging.
