Product Information
Full details
The Moncler Grenoble Santec Jacket is designed for adult females seeking high-performance outerwear for trekking and hiking. Its key benefit is superior protection against water and wind while maintaining exceptional breathability, thanks to the three-layer laminate GORE-TEX®. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, meaning it might be overkill for casual, everyday use. Key features include water-repellent zips, heat-sealed seams for enhanced weatherproofing, and an integrated RECCO® reflector for increased safety in remote areas.

FAQs
What is GORE-TEX®?
GORE-TEX® is a brand of waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric used in outerwear. It features a membrane with over nine billion pores per square inch, allowing water vapor (sweat) to escape while preventing liquid water (rain, snow) from entering.
What is a RECCO® reflector?
A RECCO® reflector is a small, passive electronic transponder used for avalanche rescue. It is integrated into clothing and equipment and can be used by professional rescue teams equipped with RECCO® detectors to locate a buried person.
Do I need to activate the RECCO® reflector?
No, the RECCO® reflector is a passive device and does not require activation, batteries, or pairing. It works by reflecting a signal from a RECCO® detector.
How often should I re-apply DWR treatment?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions. A general guideline is to re-apply DWR when water no longer beads up and rolls off the fabric surface, typically after several washes or extensive use in wet conditions.
Can this jacket be used for skiing?
While designed for trekking and hiking, its waterproof and windproof features make it suitable for general winter outdoor activities. However, specific ski jackets often include features like powder skirts and improved insulation for skiing.
What size is 'Size 3' for Moncler Grenoble?
Moncler Grenoble sizing can vary. Size 3 typically corresponds to a medium in general European sizing, but it is always recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart for accurate measurements.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof, water soaks into the fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may have worn off. Follow the care instructions to wash the jacket and then apply a new DWR treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to close
Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently clean with a soft brush. You can apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or paraffin) to the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Breathability seems reduced
The fabric's pores may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket according to the care instructions with a specialized technical garment wash. Avoid fabric softeners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is ready to wear upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are fully closed before use.
Compatibility: The RECCO® reflector is a passive device and does not require pairing with any other technology. Its effectiveness relies on the presence of RECCO® detectors used by rescue services.
Care: To maintain the performance of the GORE-TEX® fabric:
- Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) with a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners. Wash the jacket with zippers closed and all Velcro tabs fastened.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a medium heat setting for at least 20 minutes. This helps to reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Re-waterproofing: If water no longer beads on the fabric surface after washing and drying, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions.
