FAQs

What is GORE-TEX ePE?

GORE-TEX ePE is a next-generation membrane used in the Saltoro Jacket. It is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable material that ensures you stay dry and comfortable.

How do I adjust the hood?

The hood has rear volume adjustment and two frontal adjusters. Use the tethered external cordlocks to adjust the hood opening and achieve the perfect fit.

How do I wash my Saltoro Jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry.

Is the jacket suitable for winter use?

Yes, the jacket can be worn in winter with appropriate layering underneath for extra warmth.

What kind of pockets does the jacket have?

The jacket has two large outer hand pockets with YKK WR zips, positioned to be accessible when carrying a pack. These pockets are large enough to store gloves and other items.

What is the Alpine fit?

The Alpine fit allows for maximum mobility, making the jacket well-suited for wearing with multiple mid-layers in winter or just thin layers in summer.

What should I do if the DWR finish wears off?

You can re-apply a DWR treatment by following the product instructions. Ironing the jacket on a low setting can also help reactivate the DWR finish.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR finish is worn off. If so, re-apply a DWR treatment. Also, check the seams for any damage.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a silicone-based spray.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Tighten the hood adjusters to achieve a secure fit.

The jacket feels too warm.

Use the underarm vents to increase airflow or reduce the number of layers underneath.
