FAQs
What type of insulation does the jacket use?
The jacket uses 'Down Touch Filling', which is designed to provide warmth comparable to natural down feathers.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and can be zipped off, allowing you to customize your protection based on weather conditions.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket is designed for warmth in cold conditions, especially for skiing. For extreme cold, layering with additional thermal garments is recommended.
What does 'welded baffles' mean?
Welded baffles are seams created by heat sealing rather than traditional stitching. This method helps to evenly distribute the insulation and prevent cold spots, enhancing overall warmth.
What is the material of the jacket?
The jacket is constructed from polyester, known for its durability and resistance to outdoor elements.
Is this jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket is designed to protect against wind and snow common in ski environments. For optimal performance in wet conditions, ensure the DWR finish is maintained.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
Ensure the Down Touch Filling is not compressed. Check that all zippers and closures are sealed to prevent drafts. Verify that appropriate base and mid-layers are being worn underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently pull the zipper while applying slight pressure. If it persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood is difficult to zip on or off.
Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Align the hood zipper with the jacket zipper carefully before attempting to zip. Move slowly and deliberately.
Outer fabric feels wet after light snow.
While designed for protection, persistent exposure to heavy wet snow may saturate the outer fabric over time. Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Re-apply DWR treatment if performance degrades after washing.
