FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Oakley Canopy Insulated Jacket is designed for winter sports like skiing and snowboarding, offering warmth, waterproofing, and breathability in alpine conditions.
Is the hood adjustable and does it fit over a helmet?
Yes, the hood is adjustable and specifically engineered to be helmet-compatible, providing a secure fit over most ski or snowboard helmets.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using liquid detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and powder detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.
What does '2L FNDry' and 'Hydrofree DWR' mean?
'2L FNDry' refers to a two-layer fabric technology for waterproofing and breathability. 'Hydrofree DWR' is a durable water-repellent finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric's surface.
Can I use this jacket for activities other than skiing or snowboarding?
While optimized for snow sports, it can be used for other cold-weather activities like winter hiking or snowshoeing. However, it might be too warm for less intense activities or milder temperatures.
Where is the RFID lift pass pocket located?
The RFID lift pass pocket is conveniently located on the left sleeve of the jacket.
What kind of items can I store in the internal mesh pockets?
The internal mesh compartments are ideal for storing larger items such as ski goggles, a media device, or gloves.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush and warm water to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure pit vents are open during activity. Check that internal pockets are not overstuffed, which can impede airflow. Wash the jacket to remove any accumulated body oils or residue that might block the membrane.
Reduced warmth from insulation.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. If the insulation appears compressed or damaged, it may require professional assessment or replacement. Ensure all closures are sealed to prevent drafts.
