Featuring ARED 15/15 waterproof and breathable technology, this jacket keeps you protected in challenging alpine conditions while providing insulation for warmth and a relaxed fit for full range of motion. Please note that as an overhead-style garment, it may take slightly longer to put on or take off compared to traditional full-zip jackets.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket truly waterproof?

Yes, it is constructed with ARED 15/15 fabric, which is highly waterproof and rated to handle significant wet weather conditions.

Does the jacket come with a hood?

Yes, it is designed with features suitable for mountain use, including an integrated hood.

Can I wear this for activities other than skiing?

Absolutely. Its street-inspired style and windproof performance make it suitable for hiking or general winter wear.

How do I choose the right size?

This model features a relaxed fit. If you prefer a snugger fit for street wear, you might consider your standard size, but keep in mind that you may want extra room for base layers.

Is the jacket machine washable?

Yes, but ensure you follow the care label instructions and use a technical, non-bio detergent.

Troubleshooting

Water begins to soak into the outer fabric

The DWR finish likely needs reactivation; tumble dry on low heat or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Difficulty pulling the jacket over the head

Ensure the long side zip is fully opened before putting the jacket on or taking it off to provide maximum clearance.

Internal condensation buildup

Increase ventilation by opening the side zip and ensure you are not wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof and breathability ratings
  • Highly effective windproof construction
  • Relaxed fit offers great mobility
  • Stylish aesthetic suitable for off-mountain wear

Cons

  • Overhead design is less convenient than full-zip alternatives

  • Specific fit style may not suit everyone

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Cleaning: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid fabric softeners as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane.
  • Maintenance: Periodically re-apply a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) spray if you notice water no longer beads off the outer fabric surface.
  • Compatibility: The jacket fits best with standard mountain trousers and mid-layer thermal clothing. Ensure all side zips are fully closed before starting your ascent to ensure the integrity of the weatherproofing.
