Can I wear this while skiing?

Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the garment and apply a fresh DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
Stiff or sticky zippers
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush and water to remove grit or salt, then apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure all zippers are fully closed during wash cycles. Use a mild, technical cleaner designed for waterproof shells. To restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish over time, it is recommended to tumble dry the jacket on low heat or use a wash-in re-waterproofing treatment once the fabric begins to 'wet out' rather than shedding water. The jacket's design is compatible with standard layering systems, allowing it to fit comfortably over base and mid-layers.
