How to use
To achieve the best performance, wear the jacket as an outer shell over appropriate base and mid-layers depending on the temperature. Ensure all zippers are fully closed during storms to maintain the integrity of the waterproof seal. Adjust the hood and cuffs to create a secure fit that prevents wind and snow from entering. After use in wet conditions, allow the jacket to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the membrane's functionality.
What to consider before purchase
- Ensure the size allows for layering underneath
- Check the compatibility of the hood with a climbing helmet
- Consider the intended intensity of your mountain activities
Usage recommendations
Regularly clean the jacket according to the manufacturer's instructions to maintain the breathability of the membrane and reapply a water-repellent treatment if water no longer beads on the surface.
