Full details
The Quiksilver Scaly Hooded Zip Jacket is designed for adult men who need a reliable, lightweight outer layer for daily outdoor activities in variable weather. Combining Quiksilver’s proprietary DryFlight wind and water protection with a 2/3 WarmFlight insulation rating, it strikes an excellent balance between warmth and mobility. While it offers superior comfort and eco-conscious construction, its lightweight design is optimized for transitional climates rather than extreme arctic temperatures.

FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to DryFlight technology and a DWR finish, which makes it effective for light rain and wind, but it is not a fully waterproof rain shell.
Can I wear this in the snow?
It is best for light, cold-weather conditions. It is not specifically rated for deep snow sports or prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.
What does the 2/3 WarmFlight rating mean?
It indicates a mid-range insulation level, providing warmth for chilly temperatures without being as heavy or insulated as specialized extreme-cold gear.
Does it have an internal pocket?
No, this specific model features two external zipped hand pockets for storage.
How should I choose the right size?
The jacket follows a standard regular fit. It is recommended to choose your typical size if you plan to wear it over light layers.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may be wearing off. Clean the jacket and consider using a wash-in re-waterproofing product specifically designed for technical outerwear.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to operate
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track. If it remains stiff, wipe the track clean and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or pencil graphite.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a straightforward pull-on, zip-up garment with no complex setup. It pairs well with casual denim, activewear, or mid-layer vests. To maintain the effectiveness of the DWR finish and the longevity of the nylon fabric, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a gentle cycle with mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible to preserve the fabric structure and water-repellent coating.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and maintain loft.
- Avoid: Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean, as these can damage the technical coatings and insulation materials.
