FAQs

What is the primary material of the jacket?

The jacket is primarily made of recycled polyester (93%) and a small amount of elastane (7%) for stretch.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is designed to fit under a helmet but is not adjustable.

What kind of zippers does the jacket have?

The jacket uses YKK NATULON® VISLON® recycled zips for the front and pockets.

Can I use this jacket for skiing?

Yes, this jacket is suitable for ski touring as a mid-layer, providing warmth and breathability.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is not waterproof, but it is water-resistant and suitable for layering with a waterproof shell.

What is THERMO GRID FLEECE?

THERMO GRID FLEECE is a lightweight fleece with a brushed back and a gridded format that traps warm air and enhances breathability.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and outer layers for the weather conditions. The Protium is a mid-layer, so it relies on other layers to provide complete insulation.

The zipper is difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions in the zipper teeth and lubricate it with a zipper wax or a silicone-based lubricant.

The fleece has developed some wear and tear

If the fleece gets snagged, gently pull it from the fabric and if it is more serious, patch the area with a piece of matching material, or take the jacket to a tailor for professional repair.
