3 Ply Ripstop Jacket Winter Jacket - Wet Sand FAQ
Is 20K waterproofing enough to keep me dry in wet, heavy snow?
Yes. The 3 Ply Ripstop Jacket uses a 3-ply micro ripstop dry fabric with a 20K/20K waterproof/breathable membrane, rated for sustained wet-snow exposure rather than light dry flurries. Fully taped seams back that up, so moisture can't work its way in at the stitch lines during long days out.
Will the seams leak after a season of heavy use?
No. Every seam on the 3 Ply Ripstop Jacket is fully taped, sealing the panel joins so the 20K/20K waterproof rating holds up over repeated wet-snow riding. This is the detail that prevents the slow seam leaks that show up on cheaper shells after a season.
Is the water-repellent coating actually free of PFAS chemicals?
Yes. The jacket's fabric is PFAS free and finished with a PFC Free DWR treatment, meaning no perfluorinated compounds in the water-repellent coating. That's a real formulation change from older DWR chemistries, relevant if you're specifically shopping for PFAS-free outerwear rather than just a marketing claim.
Does the hood actually stay put in wind, or will it blow off?
The 3 Ply Ripstop Jacket has a 3-point adjustable hood with premium toggles, letting you cinch it down at multiple points for a snug fit that stays over your helmet or beanie in wind and chairlift gusts instead of flopping around.
Do I overheat in this jacket when I'm hiking or working hard?
No, it has underarm YKK Vislon zipper vents you can open to dump heat quickly during a bootpack or hard lap, working alongside the 20K breathability rating. That gives you an active way to regulate temperature instead of relying on the shell's breathability alone.
How much storage does this jacket have for goggles, gloves, and a pass?
Plenty. You get large chest pockets with YKK waterproof Vislon zips, large hand pockets with YKK Vislon zips, dedicated goggle/glove pockets, and a pass pocket with a YKK Aquaguard zipper. That's enough dedicated storage to skip a backpack for a day of laps.
Does this jacket keep snow out at the waist when I fall?
Yes, it has a built-in powder skirt along with an adjustable waist using bungee and premium toggles, so you can cinch the hem snug against a fall or deep pow without snow riding up under the jacket. This is a standard technical-shell feature, present here on the 3 Ply Ripstop Jacket.
Does this jacket match the 3 Ply Ripstop Pant for a coordinated set?
Yes. Both share the same 3-ply micro ripstop dry fabric and construction, and overlap in Black, Wet Sand, and Petrol Blue (the pant also comes in a Wolf Grey the jacket doesn't offer). Matching colorways between the two pieces gives you a coordinated top-to-bottom outfit.
