FAQs

What is Sorona® synthetic down?

Sorona® is a sustainable, high-performance synthetic insulation made partly from plant-based ingredients. It provides warmth, softness, and resilience, mimicking the properties of natural down.

How often should I wash the jacket?

Wash only when necessary to maintain the fabric's performance. Follow the specific short cycle and temperature instructions. Over-washing can degrade the water-repellent treatment.

Can I use fabric softener or bleach?

No, absolutely not. Fabric softener and optical brighteners can damage the fabric's technical properties, including its water repellency and insulation.

What is the purpose of the thumbholes?

The thumbholes on the sleeves are designed to help keep the sleeves pulled down over gloves or mitts, providing an extra layer of warmth and preventing snow from entering the sleeves.

Why is tumble-drying recommended?

Tumble-drying with tennis balls is crucial for reactivating the insulation's loft and restoring the water-repellent properties of the fabric after washing. It helps to evenly distribute the filling and the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.

Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?

The jacket is water-repellent, meaning it resists water penetration. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproof outerwear might be necessary.

Where is this jacket manufactured?

The Fusalp Atila Ski Jacket is fabricated in China.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully drying after washing

Ensure the garment is placed in the tumble dryer with tennis balls and a medium heat setting as per instructions. If not tumble-drying, ensure the ironing step to reactivate water repellency is completed correctly.

Reduced water repellency

Reactivate the water repellency by ironing the outside of the product at 110°C maximum without steam, using a protective cloth. Ensure the garment is clean before ironing.

Zips are stiff or difficult to close

Ensure zips are clean and free of debris. Gently rub a graphite pencil tip along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zip.

Jacket feels cold or less warm

Check that the Sorona® synthetic down has not become compacted. Proper tumble-drying with tennis balls helps to re-fluff the insulation. Ensure all zips and the snow guard are properly closed to prevent drafts.
