FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the RECCO reflector?
The RECCO reflector is a passive safety device that makes you more visible to organized rescue teams using RECCO detectors. It requires no batteries or power source and is designed to assist rescuers in locating you in the event of an avalanche or if you are lost.
How do I clean the jacket to maintain its water resistance?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, avoiding bleach and fabric softeners. After washing, tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Periodically, you should reapply a DWR treatment to the exterior fabric to restore its water-repellent properties.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold temperatures?
The jacket is insulated and designed for cold weather. For extreme cold, layering with a thermal base layer and a fleece mid-layer is recommended to enhance warmth.
Can I wear a helmet with this jacket?
Yes, the jacket features a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood designed to fit comfortably over ski or snowboard helmets.
What are the internal pocket dimensions for goggles?
The jacket includes two large internal goggle stash pockets designed to hold most standard-sized ski or snowboard goggles, helping to protect them and prevent fogging when not in use.
How effective is the water resistance?
The jacket uses a 50D durable water-resistant fabric with a PFC-free DWR finish, providing good protection against moderate rain and snow. The sealed seams and detachable snow skirt further enhance its ability to keep you dry.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Use a graphite pencil or wax stick to lubricate the zipper teeth. Clean any debris from the zipper track.
Water is seeping through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outerwear. Check seams for any damage.
Snow skirt is not staying in place.
Ensure the snow skirt is fully extended and fastened correctly. Check for any damage to the attachment points or elastic.
Hood adjustment is not secure.
Tighten the drawcords using the toggles. Ensure the drawcord channels are clear of debris.
