❓ FAQ
Is the down jacket waterproof? The DWR treatment ensures water repellency for light rain up to 2-3h. For heavy rain, pair with a waterproof jacket.
Can I use it as a mid-layer? Yes, it's designed for layering. Wear it under a waterproof shell for temperatures up to -5°C.
What size should I choose if I have a large bust? Choose one size up from your usual size to ensure comfort and freedom of movement.
Is it suitable for skiing? As a mid-layer, yes, but not as an outer layer on the slopes. A technical shell is needed on top.
Difference with the Hyalite Vest? The down jacket has sleeves for greater warmth. The Hyalite Vest is lighter and more versatile for active layering.
