FAQs

What is POLARLOFT® Featherless insulation?

It is a synthetic insulation that mimics the warmth of down but is made from recycled materials, offering excellent warmth-to-weight ratio and is water-resistant.

Is the jacket waterproof?

The jacket is highly water-resistant due to the DRILITE® LOFT 40D outer fabric but is not fully waterproof. It is designed to withstand rain and snow but is not meant to be submerged.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in warm water (30°C / 86°F) using a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low setting. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Can I use this jacket for everyday use?

While the Superflux is designed for mountaineering and ski touring, it can be used for everyday cold weather activities. However, it's optimized for alpine environments.

What is the fit like?

The jacket has a women's mountain fit designed for a comfortable and functional fit. It allows for layering, so it might feel roomy if you are not layering.

What is the warranty?

Please refer to Mountain Equipment's warranty information for specific details. Contact Mountain Equipment directly for more information.

Troubleshooting

The jacket isn't as warm as expected.

Ensure you are layering appropriately with a base layer and mid-layer. Check that the jacket is properly zipped and that the hood and cuffs are adjusted to prevent heat loss.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs re-treatment. Follow the care instructions and consider using a DWR spray specifically for technical outerwear.

The jacket feels too bulky.

Ensure you have the correct size. The jacket is designed to accommodate layers, which might feel bulky if the fit is too large.
