FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it resists light rain and snow, but it is not seam-sealed or fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Can I wear this in extreme cold?
It is designed for moderate winter weather. For extreme cold, we recommend layering it under a heavier shell.
What is the best way to wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle with mild detergent, then tumble dry on low to maintain the insulation.
Does it have a hood?
This specific version of the Powder Lite II is the full-zip jacket without a hood.
Is the material noisy when moving?
The fabric is lightweight and soft, designed for quiet movement during daily activities.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR finish may be wearing off; wash the jacket to remove debris and consider applying a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper sticking or catching
Ensure no loose threads are trapped in the track; clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of graphite or specialized zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for a straightforward fit. To ensure optimal performance, use the drawcord at the hem to create a custom seal around your waist to prevent cold air from sneaking in. For cleaning, it is recommended to wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the `Omni-Shield` water-repellent finish. Always tumble dry on low heat to help refresh the loft of the synthetic insulation. If the water-repellency begins to fade over time, consider applying a garment-safe DWR refreshing spray to maintain its functionality.
