Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for skiing?

Yes, its waterproof and windproof capabilities make it excellent for alpine touring, though it lacks specialized features like a dedicated powder skirt.

Does the hood fit over a climbing helmet?

Yes, it is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible with a stiffened, adjustable peak.

Can I wear a heavy down jacket underneath?

The technical fit is designed to accommodate winter layering, but consider your size carefully if you plan to wear very bulky mid-layers.

What is GORE-TEX ePE?

It is an expanded polyethylene-based membrane that is thinner and lighter while maintaining high waterproof and breathable standards.

How often should I wash this jacket?

Wash it whenever it becomes visibly dirty or when the breathability seems reduced by sweat and skin oils.

Troubleshooting

Water no longer beads on the surface

The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry, or re-apply a DWR spray treatment.

Feeling damp inside during activity

Check that the pit zips are open. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to prevent sweat buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your GORE-TEX jacket, follow these guidelines:

Adjustments: Utilize the dual hem adjustments with gloves on to secure a tighter fit at the waist. Adjust the hood tensioners to dial in the hood fit around your helmet or head.
Cleaning: Wash in a machine using warm water and a technical detergent specifically formulated for GORE-TEX garments. Avoid fabric softeners or heavy detergents.
DWR Maintenance: After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting to help reactivate the durable water repellent (DWR) finish. If water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray treatment.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before packing it away for the season.
