FAQs

What does '3L GORE-TEX®' mean?

It refers to a three-layer construction of the GORE-TEX® fabric. This typically involves the GORE-TEX® membrane bonded between a durable outer face fabric and a light inner lining, offering enhanced durability and comfort.

What is the RECCO® reflector for?

The RECCO® reflector is a passive safety device used in the event of an avalanche or other rescue situations. It does not require power and helps rescue teams locate you more quickly if you are buried.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Valles Wind Jacket is primarily designed for wind and water protection. It is not heavily insulated and is best suited for mild to cool conditions or for layering over warmer mid-layers in colder temperatures.

How often should I re-waterproof the jacket?

Re-waterproofing is recommended when you notice water is no longer beading up on the fabric surface during use. This can vary depending on how frequently and in what conditions the jacket is used, but typically after several washes or seasons of wear.

Can I use regular detergent to wash the jacket?

No, it is recommended to use a technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Regular detergents, especially those with additives like fabric softeners or bleach, can damage the GORE-TEX® membrane and reduce its performance.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a straight hem and elasticated cuffs, suggesting a functional, athletic fit designed for movement. It is intended for adult female wearers.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions. Tumble dry on low heat for 20-30 minutes to reactivate the DWR coating. If performance has degraded significantly, consider applying a GORE-TEX® specific waterproofing spray or wash.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth and work the zipper back and forth.

Breathability seems reduced

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the GORE-TEX® membrane pores. Follow the washing instructions carefully, ensuring a thorough rinse.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed for adult female wearers. Its sizing is tailored for this demographic.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergent, bleach, and fabric softeners.
  • Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes to reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. If tumble drying is not possible, hang dry, then iron on low heat (without steam) with a towel placed between the iron and the jacket.
  • Re-Waterproofing: For continued performance, apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment suitable for GORE-TEX® fabrics as needed, typically when water no longer beads on the surface.
