FAQs
What is the primary material of this jacket?
The jacket is primarily constructed from 100% polyester with a PU membrane for durability and protection.
Can the hood be completely removed?
Yes, the hood is zip-off, meaning it can be fully detached from the jacket.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent front zipper and a PU membrane, offering protection against light rain and snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing measures or a dedicated rain jacket might be necessary.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What is the purpose of the sleeve pocket?
The sleeve pocket is designed as a functional ski pass pocket, providing easy and secure access on the slopes.
What type of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket uses an insulated polyester filling to provide warmth.
Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?
The jacket provides insulation, but for very cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer with thermal base layers or a mid-layer for enhanced warmth.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) or a silicone lubricant along the zipper track.
Water is penetrating the jacket.
The water-repellent treatment may have worn off. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Consider adding an additional insulating layer (e.g., a fleece or down vest) underneath the jacket, especially in very cold conditions.
Hood is not staying securely attached.
Check that the zipper for the detachable hood is fully engaged and zipped up correctly. Ensure no debris is obstructing the zipper.
