FAQs

What is the RECCO reflector for?

The RECCO reflector is a passive, battery-free device integrated into the jacket. It helps search and rescue teams locate you in the event of an avalanche or if you become lost in remote terrain by reflecting radar signals. It requires specialized RECCO detectors carried by rescue personnel.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket features a water-resistant shell and taped seams are not specified. It is designed to keep you dry from snow and light rain during winter activities. For prolonged exposure to heavy rainfall, a fully waterproof jacket might be more appropriate.

Can I wear a helmet with this jacket?

Yes, the jacket features a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood designed to fit comfortably over most ski and snowboard helmets.

What kind of insulation does it use?

The jacket uses 100% synthetic loose fill insulation, providing warmth and retaining insulating properties even when damp.

How many pockets does it have and what are they for?

It has two water-resistant zipped chest pockets, two hand warmer pockets, one zipped ski pass sleeve pocket, and two large internal goggle stash pockets.

What does PFC Free DWR mean?

PFC-Free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish applied to the fabric does not contain Per- or Poly-Fluorinated Chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.

Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax (like beeswax) to the zipper teeth and run the zipper up and down several times.

Jacket is no longer water-repellent

Clean the jacket according to care instructions. If water does not bead on the surface, reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment following the product's instructions.

Fit around the hood is not secure

Adjust the drawcords on the hood to tighten it around your head or helmet. Ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly for optimal visibility and protection.

Snow skirt is letting in snow

Ensure the snow skirt is fully extended and properly fastened. If it is detachable, check that it is securely reattached. Adjust the jacket's hem drawcords to create a tighter seal.
