FAQs

What is POLARLOFT® Featherless insulation?

How packable is the Superflux jacket?

The jacket packs down incredibly small, making it easy to store and transport.

What is the fit like?

The jacket is designed with a women's mountain fit.

Are there any internal pockets?

Yes, there is an internal zipped security pocket for storing valuables.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and tumble dry on a low setting. See care instructions above for more details.

What kind of activities is this jacket suitable for?

It is suitable for mountaineering, ski touring, and everyday use in cold weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped up and the hood is adjusted to prevent heat loss. Check for any damage or compression of the insulation.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is still effective. If not, reapply a DWR treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Zippers are sticking.

Apply a zipper lubricant to the zippers to ensure smooth operation.
