What sizes and colors are available?

Availability varies by retailer. This guide is for the Red - Size M variant. Other sizes and colors may be available separately.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not completely waterproof/windproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and that the hood is properly adjusted. Over time, waterproof coatings can wear; consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if performance degrades significantly.

Jacket feels too warm indoors or during light activity.

The jacket is designed for cold weather. For milder conditions or high-intensity activities, consider layering with a base layer and potentially removing the jacket or opening zippers for ventilation.

Synthetic padding has become clumpy after washing.

Ensure the jacket was dried according to the instructions, preferably with a few clean tennis balls in the dryer on low heat to help redistribute the padding. Hand fluff the padding if necessary.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve movement. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
