FAQs

What does 20K DryFlight® technology mean?

20K DryFlight® technology indicates a high level of waterproofing, typically meaning the fabric can withstand 20,000 millimeters of water pressure before it begins to leak. This ensures excellent protection against heavy rain and snow.

How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofing?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR finish. For best results, use a specific re-waterproofing treatment periodically.

Is this jacket warm enough for extreme cold?

The jacket provides excellent wind and water protection. For extreme cold, layering with insulating mid-layers (like fleece or down jackets) is recommended to achieve optimal warmth.

What is the 'modern fit'?

The 'modern fit' offers a slimmer, more contemporary silhouette compared to a traditional regular fit. It aims to provide a stylish look while retaining good mobility for active use.

Can I wear a helmet under the hood?

Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet compatible, allowing it to fit comfortably over most ski or snowboard helmets.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made of 100% Polyester.

Does the jacket have a powder skirt?

The product description does not explicitly mention a powder skirt. It features critical seam taping, a fixed hood, and various pockets.

Troubleshooting

Water seeping through seams

Ensure critical seam taping is intact. If damaged, consider professional repair or using seam-sealing tape. Reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.

Zipper is difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less waterproof over time

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment using a spray or wash-in product specifically for technical outerwear.

Fit feels too snug

This jacket features a 'modern fit' which is slimmer. For more room, consider layering with thinner base layers or exploring options with a 'regular fit'.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing capabilities for snowy and wet conditions.
  • Stylish modern fit suitable for a contemporary look.
  • Practical features like a helmet-compatible hood and multiple pockets.
  • Durable polyester construction for longevity.
  • Enhanced safety with reflective details.

Cons

  • Modern fit might be too slim for individuals preferring a looser feel.
  • Specific care instructions may be required to maintain waterproofing.
  • May not offer extreme insulation for very low temperatures without layering.
  • Size 42 is a specific fit and may not suit all body types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no complex setup. It is designed for immediate use upon purchase.

Compatibility:

  • The jacket is designed with a modern fit, which is slimmer than a traditional regular fit. Consider sizing up if you prefer more room for layering or a looser feel.
  • The hood is specifically designed to be helmet compatible, ensuring a good fit over most ski or snowboard helmets.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the waterproof coating.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Alternatively, hang to air dry.
  • Re-waterproofing: Periodically treat the jacket with a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment designed for technical outerwear to maintain its water-repellent properties. Follow the product instructions carefully.
