FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to shed light moisture and snow, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used in heavy, sustained rain.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is integrated into the design for better weather protection and heat retention.
Can I layer under this jacket?
Yes, the oversized fit is specifically designed to accommodate layering, allowing you to wear sweaters or base layers comfortably underneath.
Is it machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a cold, gentle cycle. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.
What material is the shell made of?
The exterior shell is constructed from durable, wind-resistant polyester.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clear any debris or fabric caught in the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite if needed.
Jacket appears to lose loft over time
Tumble dry the jacket on a low-heat setting with dryer balls to fluff the insulation back to its original state.
Pros and Cons

- Durable, wind-resistant construction
- Relaxed oversized fit provides superior freedom of movement

Cons
- The oversized cut may feel too bulky for some users

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Aconcagua Jacket, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild, technical-fabric-safe detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting. Consider adding a clean tennis ball or dryer ball to help redistribute the insulation during the drying cycle.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the jacket in a tight stuff sack for extended periods to maintain its loft.
- Fit Tips: Given the oversized fit, if you typically wear an XL but prefer a more streamlined look, you might consider trying a size down, though this is dependent on how many layers you intend to wear underneath.
