FAQs
What is the RECCO reflector and how does it work?
The RECCO reflector is a passive transponder that does not require power or batteries. It reflects radar signals from RECCO detectors used by ski patrols and mountain rescue teams, helping them locate you in the event of an avalanche or other emergency.
Is the snow skirt removable?
Yes, the snow skirt is detachable. This allows for customization based on weather conditions and personal preference.
Can I wear a helmet with this jacket's hood?
Yes, the jacket features a fully adjustable, helmet-compatible hood designed to fit over most ski and snowboard helmets.
How should I clean the jacket to maintain its water resistance?
Machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. After washing and drying, reapply a PFC-free DWR treatment to restore water repellency.
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses 100% synthetic loose-fill insulation, providing warmth and performance even when damp.
What are the pocket specifications?
The jacket includes two water-resistant zipped chest pockets, two hand warmer pockets, one zipped ski pass sleeve pocket, and two large internal goggle stash pockets.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the storm guard is in place. Check if the DWR coating needs reapplication. Consider professional seam sealing for extensive wear.
The snow skirt is not staying in place.
Ensure the snow skirt is correctly attached and secured. Check for any obstructions or damage to the attachment points.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it snags on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away. For persistent stiffness, apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Hood is too loose or too tight.
Adjust the toggles and drawcords on the hood for a secure fit. Ensure the wired peak is positioned correctly for optimal visibility.
