How do I adjust the hood for better protection?

Can I machine wash this jacket?

Info needed: Please refer to the specific care label inside your jacket for precise washing instructions. Generally, high-performance ski jackets should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent and air-dried.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration effectively. Over-layering can also lead to internal condensation. Check that all zippers (especially pit zips if available) are closed in wet conditions.

Snow is getting in from the bottom of the jacket.

Ensure the fixed snow skirt is properly fastened and sits snugly around your waist. The gel grip should help keep it in place. If wearing the jacket over bulky layers, adjust them to allow the snow skirt to sit flush.

Hood feels too loose or doesn't stay in place.

Utilize the concealed adjusters on the hood. Tighten them to create a more secure and customized fit around your head and helmet. Experiment with the tension to find the balance between protection and comfort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional protection from harsh elements (waterproof, breathable, taped seams)
  • Superior warmth retention, effective down to -24°C
  • Made with environmentally conscious recycled materials
  • Comprehensive ski-specific features for convenience on the slopes
  • Stretch fabric allows for excellent freedom of movement and comfort
  • Adjustable hood provides versatile weather protection

Cons

  • Highly specialized for cold weather, may be too warm for milder conditions
  • Info needed: Specific washing instructions not detailed
  • Polyester material may not suit those preferring natural fibers (though common for performance skiwear)
  • Fixed snow skirt means it's always present, which could be less versatile off-piste

Setup

  1. Adjust Hood: Use the concealed adjusters on the grown-on technical hood to customize its fit around your head and face for optimal protection against wind and snow. Ensure it does not obstruct your peripheral vision.
  2. Secure Snow Skirt: Upon wearing, ensure the fixed snow skirt is properly fastened around your waist to prevent snow ingress. The gel grip helps keep it in place.
  3. Layer Appropriately: For maximum thermal efficiency, wear suitable base layers and mid-layers underneath the jacket, especially when heading into temperatures as low as -24°C. The jacket's breathability works best with moisture-wicking layers.

Compatibility

Care

Info needed: Specific manufacturer care instructions are not provided in the product description. Always check the garment's care label for precise washing and drying instructions.

General Care Recommendations for Polyester Ski Jackets:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can impair waterproofing and breathability.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
  • Re-proofing: Over time, the durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may wear off. You may need to apply a DWR re-proofing product to maintain optimal water repellency.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure zippers are closed and pockets are empty.
