FAQs
What type of insulation does the Nebula Pro Jacket use?
It uses PrimaLoft® Silver RISE, a high-loft blown synthetic insulation designed for warmth and performance in cold, damp conditions.
Is the hood adjustable?
Yes, the hood features volume adjustment at the back and internal face adjustment, along with a stiff peak for enhanced protection.
Can I wear a helmet with this jacket?
Yes, the hood is designed to be helmet-compatible.
How many pockets does the jacket have?
It has two hidden YKK® zipped hand pockets, one integrated storage pocket with a gear loop, and one inner chest security pocket with a YKK® zip.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for insulation and protection against wind and light moisture. It is not fully waterproof; for heavy rain, an additional waterproof shell layer would be necessary.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a technical wash or mild detergent, closing all zippers. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
What is the primary intended use for this jacket?
It is primarily designed for mountain activities such as hiking, alpine routes, and climbing, offering warmth and protection in cold and damp weather.
Troubleshooting
Insulation appears flat or less lofty after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant sparingly to the teeth.
Jacket is not as warm as expected
Check that all zippers and fastenings are fully closed to prevent drafts. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers underneath. The jacket's performance is optimized for conditions where its synthetic insulation is beneficial (i.e., damp cold).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no specific setup. It is designed for immediate use upon purchase. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.
Compatibility: The helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit over most climbing or ski helmets. The jacket's fit is intended to accommodate layering underneath and should be compatible with climbing harnesses due to its cut and pocket placement.
Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's performance:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a suitable technical wash or mild detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Close all zippers before washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore loft to the insulation. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in a compressed state for extended periods to preserve insulation loft.
