FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed to be wind-resistant and warm, but it is not fully waterproof.
Can I layer this under a shell jacket?
Yes, the modern fit allows for use as an effective mid-layer under a larger waterproof shell in extreme conditions.
How do I determine if this size fits?
The XS size is designed for a slim to athletic adult build. Ensure there is enough room for light layering underneath without restricting movement.
Is the hood adjustable?
The hood is designed with a fixed, comfortable fit to maximize wind protection around the face.
Does synthetic insulation work in freezing rain?
Yes, synthetic insulation is superior to natural down in damp conditions because it retains its ability to insulate even when wet.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft and redistribute the synthetic fibers.
Exterior surface picking up dirt
Spot clean the affected areas with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry away from direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no complex setup; simply ensure the size XS provides the desired fit over your base layers. To maintain the jacket's performance, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the synthetic insulation properties. Tumble dry on low heat, preferably with a clean tennis ball to help re-fluff the insulation baffles. Always store the jacket in a dry, cool place and avoid compressing it in tight spaces for extended periods to preserve its shape.
