This high-performance jacket excels at keeping you dry and warm on the slopes with its waterproof, breathable shell and integrated powder skirt, though it is specifically optimized for technical descent performance rather than casual everyday wear.

No, the helmet-compatible hood is integrated into the jacket design for maximum protection and reliability.
The Descendit features a streamlined design focused on insulation; please check your specific model's pocket configurations for ventilation features.
It provides essential thermal insulation for alpine skiing, but for extreme cold, we recommend a layering system consisting of a base layer and a mid-layer.
The XL size is designed for standard adult male proportions. Ensure you have room to wear a base and mid-layer underneath without restricting movement.
While it is waterproof, it is specifically optimized for alpine snow sports and may feel overly technical or stiff for daily urban casual wear.
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment.
Ensure the skirt is properly snapped and tensioned; if not needed, verify it is tucked into its designated storage loops if provided.
Check for trapped debris or fabric in the zipper teeth and ensure they are clean.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always secure the powder skirt and zip up all pockets before washing. Use a technical gear cleaner rather than standard laundry detergent to protect the waterproof membrane. Machine wash on a gentle, cold cycle, and tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can strip the protective properties of the fabric. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated space to prevent mildew buildup.
