Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking a warm and water-repellent ski jacket for cold weather activities. The key benefit is its thermal insulation tested to -30°C, providing excellent warmth. A potential caveat is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, so prolonged heavy rain or snow might lead to dampness. The jacket features a fleece lining, microfibre filling, and ripstop fabric, with a hooded design, adjustable cuffs and hem, and multiple pockets for practicality.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the jacket is thermally tested to -30°C and features microfibre insulation and a fleece lining, making it suitable for very cold conditions.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash. Avoid fabric conditioner. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, meaning it can resist water penetration to a degree, but it is not fully waterproof. It's best suited for snow and light rain.

What sizes are available?

This specific product is available in size S (37 inches chest). Other sizes like XXS, XS, M, L, XL, XXL, 3XL, and 4XL are available in different color and pattern variations of the Shadow II ski jacket.

Can I wear this jacket for hiking in winter?

While the jacket provides warmth and some weather protection, its design is optimized for skiing. For hiking, consider breathability needs and potential overheating. It can be used as an outer layer in very cold, dry conditions.

How should I maintain the water-repellency?

After several washes or if water no longer beads on the surface, reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment using a spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Does it have a removable hood?

No, the hood is a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached to the jacket.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp after use in snow

The jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. For heavy snow or wet conditions, consider layering with a waterproof outer shell or ensure the water-repellent finish is up-to-date.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.

Reduced warmth after several washes

The synthetic insulation may have lost some loft. Ensure you are washing and drying according to care instructions, especially tumble drying on low heat with tennis balls to help re-fluff the insulation. Consider reapplying a water-repellent treatment.

Drawcords are difficult to tighten or loosen

Check the cord channels for obstructions. Ensure the cord lock mechanism is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal performance, suitable for very cold conditions (-30°C tested).
  • Durable ripstop fabric offers good resistance to wear and tear.
  • Water-repellent finish provides protection against moderate snow and light rain.
  • Adjustable features (cuffs, hem, hood) allow for a personalized and secure fit.
  • Multiple pockets add significant utility for carrying gear.
  • Integrated snowskirt enhances protection in snowy environments.

Cons

  • Not fully waterproof; may not withstand prolonged heavy rain or wet snow.
  • The design is specific to skiing/winter sports and may not be versatile for casual wear.
  • While insulated, it might be too warm for milder winter days.
  • The 'fake down' insulation may not offer the same loft or compressibility as natural down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure all zips are fully closed and drawcords are adjusted for a snug fit before engaging in activities.

Compatibility: Designed for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. It is compatible with other winter wear layers like base layers and mid-layers for enhanced thermal regulation.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a specific technical wash or a non-detergent soap. Avoid fabric conditioners or bleach.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed to remove all soap residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore loft to the synthetic insulation. Alternatively, hang to dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically re-apply a water-repellent treatment (like Nikwax or Grangers) to maintain the fabric's water-shedding properties, especially after several washes.
