FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-repellent due to the DWR treatment, making it ideal for light snow or mist, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a primary rain jacket in heavy storms.
What is the benefit of the RECCO technology?
RECCO is a search and rescue system that helps professional rescuers locate you in the event of an avalanche or if you are lost in rugged terrain.
Does this jacket keep me warm in winter?
It provides moderate warmth through its fleece-lined interior. For extreme cold, it is recommended to pair this with a technical base layer or a light insulation layer underneath.
Can I wear this with a climbing harness?
Yes, the chest pockets are positioned specifically to remain accessible even when wearing a harness.
How should I clean the jacket?
Use a technical garment wash, avoid bleach or fabric softeners, and follow the care instructions on the interior label for best results.
Troubleshooting
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Tumble dry the garment on low heat to reactivate, or apply a spray-on DWR treatment if the coating has expired.
Feeling damp inside during high exertion.
Ensure you are not wearing too many base layers underneath. The jacket is designed to breathe; if you are sweating, remove a layer to allow the fabric to move moisture away from the body.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High level of breathability for high-intensity activities
- Excellent range of motion due to 4-way stretch material
- Technical features like RECCO and helmet-compatible hood enhance safety
- Durable enough for rugged outdoor environments
Cons
- Not intended for heavy, prolonged rain exposure
- Limited warmth in extreme arctic conditions without layering
- Fitted design may require sizing up for thicker mid-layers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the technical fabrics, follow these guidelines:
- Layering: Wear as an outer layer in dry conditions or as a mid-layer under a hard shell during storms.
- Compatibility: The jacket is fully compatible with standard climbing harnesses and most modern safety helmets.
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the DWR treatment.
- Reactivating DWR: If water stops beading on the surface, tumble dry on low heat or use a low-temperature iron to reactivate the water-repellent coating.
