FAQs

What is the RECCO system for?

The RECCO system is a two-part avalanche rescue technology. The jacket contains a reflector, and rescuers use a detector to locate buried individuals. It is a supplementary safety device and does not replace avalanche safety training or equipment like transceivers.

Can I remove the faux fur trim?

Yes, the faux fur trim on the hood is designed to be detachable, allowing for customization of the jacket's appearance and function.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold temperatures?

The jacket is insulated with fake down, providing good warmth. For extremely cold conditions, layering with thermal base layers and mid-layers is recommended.

What does DWR finish mean?

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the outer fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the jacket dry in light rain or snow.

What material is the jacket made of?

The shell is made from a blend of Acrylic, Elastane, Modacrylic, and Polyester. The lining is 100% Polyester. The fabric technology includes Breathable, DWR Finish, RECCO, and Snowproof properties.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not fully waterproof.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed. If water repellency has decreased, re-apply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.

Zipper is stiff or stuck.

Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax or graphite from a pencil to the teeth of the zipper and try again.

Insulation feels less effective.

Check that the jacket is clean and that the fake down is evenly distributed. Ensure all vents and cuffs are sealed to prevent drafts.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth with fake down insulation.
  • Offers good water resistance and breathability due to DWR finish.
  • Includes a valuable safety feature with the RECCO system.
  • Versatile design with detachable hood and snowskirt.
  • Adjustable features allow for a comfortable and secure fit.

Cons

  • The effectiveness of the RECCO system depends on external rescue services having RECCO detectors.
  • Fit can vary, and may require trying on for optimal comfort.
  • Faux fur trim on the hood may not be suitable for all preferences.
  • Material composition includes acrylic and modacrylic, which may be less durable than pure polyester for extreme use.
  • Only 2 side pockets might be insufficient for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No assembly is required. The jacket is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing.

Compatibility: The RECCO system is a passive safety device and does not require batteries or pairing. Its effectiveness relies on the availability of RECCO detectors used by rescue personnel.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a specialized technical wash or a mild liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
  2. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage.
  3. Re-proofing: To maintain water repellency, consider applying a DWR re-proofing spray after several washes, following the product's instructions.
