Full details

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It features a durable water-repellent finish that sheds light moisture, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.

Can I wear this in extreme sub-zero temperatures?

While it provides good warmth, it is designed for active use; you may need to layer it under a heavier shell for extreme static cold.

How do I store the jacket to maintain its loft?

Keep the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place when not in use to allow the insulation to remain expanded.

What does 'grown-on' hood mean?

A grown-on hood is integrated into the jacket design rather than being detachable, offering better wind protection and durability.

Are the materials eco-friendly?

Yes, this jacket utilizes PFAS-compliant materials, ensuring it meets specific safety and environmental standards.

Troubleshooting

Water-repellent finish is no longer beading off rain

Apply a spray-on or wash-in DWR (Durable Water Repellent) restorer designed for synthetic outdoor gear.

Jacket feels less warm over time

Wash the jacket to remove oils and dirt that can cause the insulation to mat down; dry thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight (120 gsm) for high-exertion activities
  • Excellent windproofing for mountain conditions
  • Packable design saves space in climbing or hiking backpacks
  • Customizable fit with shock cord hem and adjustable hood
  • Durable water-repellent finish protects against damp weather

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme, long-term static cold
  • White color variant may show dirt more easily on the trail
  • Limited to adult sizing range

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maintain the jacket's performance, ensure the shock cord hem is cinched during high-wind activities to prevent heat loss from below. The garment is compatible with standard hiking mid-layers and technical base layers. For care, always refer to the internal garment label; generally, wash in cool water with technical garment detergent to preserve the water-repellent finish. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can clog the insulation and reduce the jacket's breathability and water resistance. Air dry the jacket whenever possible to keep the fill lofted.
