FAQs
Is this set suitable for very cold, snowy conditions?
The set offers good insulation and water resistance, making it suitable for cold weather. For extreme conditions, layering with additional thermal base and mid-layers is recommended. The snug fit should be considered when choosing layering options.
How do I know if I need to reapply the DWR finish?
If water no longer beads up on the surface of the fabric and instead soaks in, it's time to reapply the DWR finish. You can test this by sprinkling a little water on the fabric.
Can the jacket and salopettes be washed separately?
Yes, they can be washed separately or together following the care instructions provided. Washing separately may help to preserve the fabric's properties for longer.
What does 'PFC Free' mean for this product?
'PFC Free' means the product does not contain perfluorinated chemicals. These are often used in water-repellent finishes, but PFCs can be harmful to the environment. This indicates a more eco-conscious manufacturing choice.
Are the hoods adjustable?
The hood is fleece-lined and features an elasticated edge, providing a snug fit to keep the head warm and protected. It is not explicitly adjustable with drawcords, but the elasticated edge offers some adaptability.
What is the purpose of the stormflap?
The stormflap is a strip of fabric that covers the main zipper. It provides an extra layer of protection against wind and rain from penetrating through the zipper mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Jacket or salopettes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The fit is designed to be snug for optimal warmth; however, if it restricts movement significantly, consider sizing up if available.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions. Ensure all zips and fastenings are fully secured.
Fleece lining feels less soft after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners during washing, as they can mat the fleece. Wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free the fabric. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant if it continues to stick.
