Product Information

Full details

The Mountain Warehouse Men's Shadow II Printed Ski Jacket is designed for adult males seeking robust protection and warmth in extreme winter conditions, particularly for skiing. Its key benefit lies in its advanced thermal technology, capable of retaining heat down to -30°C, coupled with water-repellent and snowproof features. A potential caveat is its heavy-duty construction, which might feel less flexible for casual wear. This jacket features ripstop fabric, fleece lining, microfiber insulation, and a functional hood, offering a blend of durability, comfort, and performance for cold-weather activities.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this jacket?

The jacket is designed for extreme winter conditions, primarily for skiing and other cold-weather outdoor activities, offering high levels of warmth and protection.

How warm is this jacket, and what does '-30°C' mean?

The jacket is 'Thermal Tested -30°C', meaning it is designed and tested to keep you warm and protected in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius, assuming appropriate layering.

Is the insulation down or synthetic?

The filling is microfiber, which mimics the properties of down for warmth and loft but is a synthetic material, offering an ethical alternative.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry.

Can I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Yes, the jacket features adjustable cuffs with hook-and-loop straps, an adjustable hem, and an adjustable drawcord on the grown-on hood for a customizable fit.

Is the hood detachable?

The hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket and cannot be detached.

What does 'snowskirt' mean in the context of this jacket?

A snowskirt is an internal band or lining at the bottom of the jacket designed to prevent snow from entering the jacket from below, particularly useful during activities like skiing.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Reduced water repellency

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a suitable water-repellent treatment to the outer fabric as per the product's instructions.

Lining feels cold or less insulated

Ensure all layers are properly zipped and that the adjustable cuffs and hem are secured to prevent cold air ingress. Check that the filling has not become compacted.
