Product Information
Full details
The Mountain Warehouse Galactic III Extreme Ski Jacket is a high-performance outer layer designed for adult males who prioritize safety and weather protection while engaging in intensive winter sports. Its primary benefit is the combination of a 10,000mm waterproof rating and built-in RECCO avalanche rescue technology, providing peace of mind during off-piste adventures. While the jacket offers exceptional weatherproofing, its technical fabric requires careful maintenance to preserve its breathability and water-repellent properties over time.

What is RECCO technology?
RECCO is a two-part system where a reflector in the jacket allows professional rescue teams to pinpoint your location using a detector.
Can I wear this jacket for casual winter wear?
Yes, while designed for sports, its features and style make it suitable for general cold-weather activities.
What does the 10,000mm rating mean?
It means the fabric can withstand the pressure of a 10,000mm column of water without leaking, indicating high-level waterproof performance.
Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a specialized re-waterproofing spray to the outer shell and allow it to cure.
Zipper sticking or difficult to move
Clear any debris or fabric caught in the track and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite to the teeth.
Excessive condensation inside the jacket
Ensure you are using the correct layering system. Avoid wearing non-breathable cotton layers underneath as they trap sweat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the waterproof fabric, avoid using standard detergents, which can strip the technical coating. Use a specialized technical garment cleaner when washing. Always ensure the full zip fastening is closed before laundering to protect the teeth of the zipper. The jacket is designed to be worn over standard base layers and mid-layers for optimal thermal regulation. For long-term storage, ensure the jacket is completely dry and hung in a cool, dark place to prevent material degradation. Periodically check that the RECCO reflector is free from damage and remains clearly visible.
