FAQs
What kind of weather is this suit best suited for?
The Jenko ski suit is designed for cold winter conditions, offering water repellency and thermal insulation, making it suitable for skiing, snowboarding, and general resort wear in temperatures that are typically below freezing.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Fusalp sizing chart for women's garments. It's recommended to measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the chart. Consider the intended use; if you plan to wear thick base layers, you might consider sizing up.
Can this suit be worn for activities other than skiing?
Yes, while engineered for skiing, its technical features and stylish design make it suitable for other winter outdoor activities or as fashionable outerwear in cold, snowy climates.
What is Sorona® synthetic down?
Sorona® is a type of advanced insulation made from renewable plant-based ingredients. It provides warmth, lightness, and compressibility similar to traditional down, but with enhanced durability and moisture resistance.
How often should I re-apply the water-repellent treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and washing. It's generally recommended to re-apply a DWR treatment after every few washes or when you notice water is no longer beading up on the fabric surface.
Is the suit breathable?
The softshell fabric used in the Jenko suit offers a degree of breathability to help manage moisture during physical activity, while the fleece backing enhances comfort.
Troubleshooting
Suit feels cold despite insulation
Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers underneath. Add or remove base layers depending on the temperature. Check that zippers are fully closed to prevent drafts.
Water is penetrating the fabric
The water-repellent treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the garment according to care instructions and then use a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment on the outer shell.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Suit is losing its shape
Ensure the suit is being stored properly (e.g., folded or hung, not compressed) and follow washing and drying instructions carefully to avoid damaging the fabric structure.
