Product Information

Full details

This ski jacket is designed for adult males seeking a durable and protective outer layer for mountain activities. Its key benefit is the combination of ARED 30/30 technology with recycled polyester, offering excellent waterproofing, windproofing, and breathability while being environmentally conscious. A potential caveat is its specialized nature, best suited for skiing and snowboarding rather than general winter wear.

FAQs

What makes the ARED 30/30 technology beneficial?

ARED 30/30 technology provides a balance of breathability (30,000g/m²/24hrs) and waterproofing (30,000mm) and windproofing, keeping you dry from both external moisture and internal perspiration, while blocking wind.

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

The jacket is padded and designed for skiing, offering good warmth. For very extreme cold, consider layering with thermal base layers and mid-layers.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the 'Size Guide' in the product description for chest measurements. For example, a size S corresponds to a 38-inch chest.

Can the hood be detached?

No, the hood is a 'grown on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

What is the purpose of the gel grip feature?

The gel grip is likely located on the inside hem of the jacket to help keep the jacket in place and prevent it from riding up during activity, especially when worn with a snowskirt.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the jacket is made from 100% recycled polyester and is free from PFC, PFOA, and PFOS chemicals.

Can I wear this jacket for other outdoor activities besides skiing?

While optimized for skiing, its waterproof and windproof features make it suitable for other cold-weather outdoor activities where protection from the elements is needed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer repels water effectively.

Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment. Ensure the jacket is clean before application and follow the product's instructions for the DWR spray or wash-in product.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite lubricant to the zipper track.

Seams appear to be leaking.

Check if the taped seams are intact. If damaged, professional repair might be necessary. Ensure all zippers are fully closed during use.

Snowskirt is not sealing properly.

Ensure the snowskirt is fully extended and fastened correctly around the waist. Check for any obstructions or damage to the elasticated band.
