FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?
Yes, the jacket is designed with insulating padding to provide high warmth for cold weather activities.
How do I ensure the waterproofing lasts?
Proper care is essential. Follow the washing and drying instructions, and periodically reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying or reapplying a DWR treatment.
What does ARED 15/15 technology mean?
ARED 15/15 refers to the jacket's breathable and waterproof rating. It indicates 15,000mm of waterproof protection and 15,000g/m²/24h breathability, providing excellent defense against heavy rain and snow while allowing moisture vapor to escape.
Can I wear a bulky mid-layer under this jacket?
The jacket is designed for a standard fit. While it accommodates insulating layers, the overhead design might make it slightly less adaptable for extremely bulky mid-layers compared to a full-zip jacket. Consider layering appropriately.
Is the jacket environmentally friendly?
Yes, the jacket is crafted from 100% recycled polyester and is PFC, PFOA, and PFOS free, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and reduced environmental impact.
What is the purpose of the scrim back panel?
The scrim back panel likely refers to a brushed or textured fabric on the inside back of the jacket, designed to add comfort and potentially improve moisture management against the skin.
How do I clean the ski pass pocket?
The ski pass pocket is part of the jacket lining. Clean it by carefully wiping the interior with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then ensure it's fully dry before zipping up.
Troubleshooting
Water is not beading on the jacket's surface
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have diminished. Follow the care instructions to reactivate the DWR by tumble drying or reapply a DWR treatment.
Jacket feels less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean. Sweat and dirt can clog the membrane pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check that ventilation zips (if applicable) are open.
Seams appear to be leaking
The taped seams might be compromised. Ensure the garment has been washed and dried correctly. If damage is visible, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This is an outerwear garment and requires no assembly. Ensure the hood and hem adjusters are set to your preferred fit before use.
Compatibility: Designed for adult female use. Compatible with standard ski gear. The overhead design means it's best paired with base and mid-layers that can be easily put on and taken off before the jacket.
Care: To maintain the jacket's performance and water-repellency:
- Washing: Machine wash at 30°C, gentle cycle. Use a small amount of liquid detergent. Do NOT use powder detergent, bleach, or fabric softener.
- Rinsing: Rinse twice to ensure all detergent is removed.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Once dry, tumble dry for 20 minutes to reactivate the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish. Reapply DWR treatment periodically, especially if water no longer beads on the surface.
