FAQs

What type of insulation does the Shadow II Ski Jacket use?

The jacket uses 'fake down' insulation, which is a synthetic alternative to natural down, providing warmth without the bulk and retaining insulating properties even when damp.

How cold can this jacket protect me from?

The jacket is thermally tested to -30°C, indicating it is designed for very cold conditions.

Is the jacket completely waterproof?

The jacket is water-repellent and water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and snow effectively. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a fully waterproof garment might be more suitable.

How should I determine my size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided, which lists chest measurements for each size. For example, a size S corresponds to a 37-inch chest.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a mild detergent. Ensure it is rinsed thoroughly and tumble dried on low heat.

Does the hood detach?

The jacket features a grown-on hood with adjustable drawcords, meaning it is attached to the jacket and not designed to be removed.

Troubleshooting

Jacket zipper is stiff or stuck

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the slider.

Reduced water repellency

Clean the jacket thoroughly as per care instructions. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels less warm than expected

Ensure all closures (zipper, hood, cuffs, hem) are properly sealed to prevent heat loss. Check that the inner lining is clean and not compacted. Consider layering additional thermal wear underneath.
