Full details

FAQs

What is Omni-Heat technology?

Omni-Heat is a thermal reflective technology that uses small, metallic dots on the lining to reflect body heat back to the wearer, enhancing warmth without adding bulk.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy snow?

The jacket is water-repellent and offers good insulation for light snow. For heavy snowfall or prolonged exposure, it's recommended to layer with additional waterproof outerwear.

How do I wash this jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors. Use non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly. Do not iron or dry clean.

What are the pocket options?

The jacket features two zippered hand pockets for warmth and secure storage, plus an interior security pocket for valuables.

Can this jacket be worn for very active pursuits like running?

While breathable, it's primarily designed for moderate activities like hiking or casual wear. For high-intensity running, especially in warmer conditions, it might be too warm. It's best suited for cooler weather activities where you generate less body heat continuously.

What sizes and colors are available?

This specific guide is for the Blue, Size S model. The Powder Lite II jacket is available in various sizes and colors for men, including Grey, Green, Black, and Camouflage patterns, with different model numbers for some variations.

How does the 'modern fit' differ from a standard fit?

A modern fit typically offers a slightly more tailored silhouette compared to a traditional or relaxed fit. It might be slimmer through the body and sleeves for a contemporary look.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If you prefer a looser fit, consider ordering a size up or layering with thinner base layers.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer shell. Reapply a water-repellent treatment if performance has decreased over time.

Zipper is sticking

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper. You can use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the zipper teeth.
