FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, it features high-warmth padding specifically designed to keep you insulated in sub-zero alpine temperatures.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
You can, but it is highly recommended to use a technical gear cleaner and avoid fabric conditioners to protect the waterproof membrane.
Does it have a hood?
Yes, it includes a grown-on hood designed to provide additional coverage against wind and snow.
What does 35/35K mean?
It refers to the fabric's ability to withstand 35,000mm of water pressure while allowing 35,000g of water vapor to escape per square meter.
Is the jacket bulky?
While it is insulated for warmth, the use of stretch fabrics ensures it maintains a performance-oriented fit rather than feeling overly restrictive or bulky.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment with a technical cleaner and re-apply a DWR spray before tumble drying on low heat.
Feeling damp inside despite the waterproof rating
Ensure your layering system is moisture-wicking; avoid cotton, which holds onto sweat and prevents the jacket's breathability from working effectively.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its technical capabilities, always fasten the zippers and use a technical garment wash instead of standard detergents. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane and degrade the DWR coating. For re-activating the water repellency, follow the manufacturer's guidance regarding low-heat tumble drying or professional reproofing. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to preserve the shape of the padding and hood.
