FAQs
What is the purpose of the RECCO reflector?
The RECCO reflector is a passive safety device that helps rescuers locate you in case of an avalanche or other emergency. It does not require batteries or power and works by reflecting a signal from a RECCO detector used by rescue teams.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Avoid fabric softeners.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood is fully adjustable and designed to be helmet-compatible, allowing for a secure fit over ski or snowboard helmets.
What makes the fabric water-resistant?
The jacket uses a 50D durably water-resistant fabric with a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to repel water and snow.
Can the snow skirt be removed?
Yes, the snow skirt is detachable, allowing you to customize the jacket's features based on weather conditions or personal preference.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket is insulated with 100% synthetic loose fill insulation, providing warmth and maintaining its loft even when damp.
Are the zippers waterproof?
The front zip is water-resistant with an internal storm guard. Other pockets utilize water-resistant zippers to help protect contents from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through zippers.
Ensure zippers are fully closed and try to keep them clean. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain or snow, consider using a water-resistant spray on zippers or additional protection.
Jacket loses water repellency.
Wash the jacket with a technical wash and reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents.
Hood is not staying in place.
Adjust the drawcords at the front and back of the hood for a snugger fit. Ensure it is compatible with your helmet if worn.
Inner cuffs are difficult to manage with gloves.
The integrated thumb loop is designed to hold the inner cuff in place. Ensure your outer gloves are not too bulky, or adjust the outer cuff to fit over the inner one smoothly.
