FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is windproof and offers some protection against light drizzle due to the outer fabric, but it is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.
Can I wear this as a mid-layer?
Yes, its compressible nature makes it a great mid-layer underneath a larger shell jacket in harsh, snowy conditions.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a dry, ventilated area to allow the insulation to remain lofted rather than permanently compressed.
Does the hood fit over a helmet?
The hood is designed for general head protection and may not accommodate bulky climbing or ski helmets.
Is the material breathable?
Yes, the Pertex fabric is designed to allow moisture vapor to escape during active use, helping to regulate your temperature.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels less lofty after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute and fluff the synthetic clusters.
Zip feels stiff or sticks
Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth and periodically wipe the track clean with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Vaskye jacket is ready to wear straight out of the box. For care, it is recommended to wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent designed for synthetic insulation. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the windproof properties of the Pertex fabric. To maintain the loft of the insulation, tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls, or hang to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. It layers perfectly under a dedicated waterproof shell if you are venturing into heavy rain.
