FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

It provides strategic insulation suitable for general alpine skiing; however, for extreme sub-zero conditions, you may need an additional technical mid-layer.

How should I clean this jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild technical detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.

Can I remove the hood?

No, the hood is integrated into the design of the jacket for better weather protection.

Is this jacket windproof?

Yes, the waterproof shell material also acts as a highly effective barrier against wind.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, the jacket is designed with multiple storage options consistent with standard performance ski outerwear.

Is the sizing true to fit?

The Descendit jacket features a streamlined, athletic fit. If you prefer a loose or baggy look, you might consider sizing up.

Troubleshooting

Water begins soaking through the outer shell

The DWR coating may have worn off; wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on low to reactivate the repellent finish.

Hood feels too loose over a helmet

Utilize the adjustment toggles usually located at the back or sides of the hood to cinch the fit tighter around your helmet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent balance of warmth and mobility
  • Reliable waterproof performance in harsh weather
  • Dedicated helmet-compatible hood
  • Prevents snow infiltration with internal skirt

Cons

  • Slimmer fit may limit heavy layering
  • Requires specific care for waterproof coating
  • Limited to adult sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's waterproof capabilities, avoid using harsh detergents that can degrade the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Always wash on a gentle cycle with a dedicated technical outerwear cleaner and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent finish. The hood is compatible with most standard helmets, though you may need to adjust the toggles to secure the fit. For optimal comfort, ensure the powder skirt is snapped shut before hitting the slopes to create a secure seal against the elements.
