FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
The jacket offers high warmth and padding, making it suitable for typical ski conditions. For extremely low temperatures or prolonged exposure, layering with insulating base and mid-layers is recommended.
How do I maintain the waterproof properties?
Regular washing with a technical detergent and occasional re-proofing treatments will help maintain the waterproof and water-repellent finish. Always follow the specific care instructions.
What does PFC-free mean?
PFC-free means the jacket's water-repellent treatment does not use perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.
Can I wear a backpack with this jacket?
Yes, the jacket is designed for outdoor activities and can be worn with a backpack. The material is durable, but to prolong the life of the jacket, ensure backpack straps do not constantly rub against high-wear areas.
What is the purpose of the scrim back panel?
The scrim back panel is designed to enhance breathability and moisture management by wicking sweat away from the body.
How should I clean the goggle lens wipe?
The goggle lens wipe can typically be cleaned by hand washing with mild soap and water, then air drying. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
What is the warranty period for this jacket?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer. Please check the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outdoor wear. Ensure all seams are intact and taped correctly.
Jacket feels less breathable.
Check the inner lining for any blockages in the scrim back panel. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and residue can impair breathability.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers to ensure smooth operation.
Snowskirt is not sealing effectively.
Ensure the snowskirt is correctly positioned and secured around your waist or bib pants. Check for any damage or stretching that might affect its seal.
