Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Astro Jacket is designed for adult females seeking warmth, protection, and performance during winter activities like skiing and snowboarding. Its key benefit is providing excellent insulation and waterproofing to keep you comfortable in cold, snowy conditions. A potential caveat is its specific design for winter sports, which might make it less versatile for casual everyday wear in milder climates. This jacket offers fully waterproof and breathable fabric, insulating padding, multiple secure pockets, adjustable cuffs, and an integrated snowskirt, all combined for optimal comfort and style on the slopes.

FAQs

What type of activities is this jacket best suited for?

The Astro Jacket is specifically designed for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. It is also suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities.

How do I ensure the jacket remains waterproof?

Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions and re-apply a DWR finish when water no longer beads on the surface. Avoid using fabric softeners or detergents that can damage the fabric's properties.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

The jacket provides good insulation for cold weather. For extremely low temperatures or less active use, layering with a thermal base layer and a fleece mid-layer is recommended.

Can I wear this jacket in mild weather?

Due to its insulating padding and design for snow sports, this jacket may be too warm for mild weather conditions. It is best suited for cold or freezing temperatures.

What material is the jacket made of?

The jacket is made from polyester, offering durability and performance for outdoor activities.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 40°C with a mild liquid detergent. Rinse twice and tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

What does 'breathable' mean in relation to this jacket?

Breathable fabric allows water vapor (sweat) to escape from the inside of the jacket to the outside, helping to keep you dry and comfortable during physical exertion.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer waterproof

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish according to the product instructions.

Zipper is stiff or sticking

Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Insulation feels less effective

Check that all zippers and cuffs are sealed properly. Ensure the DWR finish is intact. For extreme cold, consider adding a thermal base layer or mid-layer.

Snowskirt is difficult to fasten

Ensure the snowskirt is pulled down fully and aligned correctly before attempting to fasten. Check for any obstructions around the attachment points.
