FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Aconcagua is windproof and offers some protection against light precipitation, but it is not a technical waterproof rain shell.

Can I wear this while skiing?

It is suitable for casual winter activities, but for high-exertion skiing, you may prefer a more breathable, technical shell.

What is the best way to wash the jacket?

Use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Tumble dry low with dryer balls.

Does the hood detach?

No, the three-piece hood is integrated into the design of the jacket for maximum warmth and wind protection.

How does the size S fit?

The jacket is designed for a comfortable adult fit, allowing for standard base layers underneath without feeling restrictive.

Is the material durable?

Yes, the polyester construction is designed for high-abrasion resistance in typical urban and trail use environments.

Troubleshooting

Zipper feels stiff or catches

Clear any debris from the zipper teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the track.

Insulation appears flat after storage

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls for 15-20 minutes to restore the loft.

Stains on the fabric

Spot clean the affected area using a soft cloth and a gentle detergent solution before rinsing and air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Aconcagua jacket, proper maintenance is essential. Always check the internal care label, but generally, the polyester shell should be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the technical properties of the insulation. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the loft of the insulation. When storing, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and material stress. The jacket is designed for layering and fits well over standard base layers and light mid-layers.
