FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, it is water-resistant. It will shed light rain and snow, but it is not intended for heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in extreme sub-zero temperatures?

While warm, it is designed for general cold-weather use. For extreme cold, it is best used as a layer under a heavier parka.

What is the best way to clean the metallic lining?

The lining should be cleaned using the same gentle machine wash cycle as the rest of the jacket. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.

Does the hood detach?

No, the hood is permanently attached to the jacket.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, it is machine washable using cold water and a gentle cycle.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less warm than when it was new

Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt that may be matted into the insulation, then tumble dry low to restore loft.

Water is soaking into the shell fabric

The Omni-Shield finish may need to be refreshed with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and highly packable design
  • Effective at heat retention due to thermal-reflective lining
  • Synthetic insulation remains warm even if exposed to moisture
  • Water-resistant shell protects against light precipitation
  • Includes essential safety features like an interior security pocket

Cons

  • Water-resistant, not waterproof; will soak through in heavy rain
  • Lacks underarm ventilation for high-exertion activities
  • The metallic thermal lining may feel slick against skin

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the longevity of your jacket, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can degrade the Omni-Shield finish.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. Adding a few clean tennis balls to the dryer can help fluff the insulation.
  3. Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket in a tight bag for long periods to preserve the loft of the insulation.
  4. Compatibility: The jacket's slim-profile design makes it an ideal mid-layer under a larger waterproof shell for harsher winter conditions.
