FREQUENT ASKED QUESTIONS

How should I care for my Valtriq jacket?

Most of our jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can damage the water-repellent finish. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the jacket's DWR coating. For down products, we recommend adding dryer balls or clean tennis balls to restore loft.

For specific care instructions, check the label inside your jacket or visit our Care Instructions page.

How durable are Valtriq products?

Our products are built to withstand harsh outdoor environments. We use high-quality materials and innovative technologies to ensure durability, whether you're hiking, skiing, or mountaineering. With proper care, your Valtriq gear will last for many seasons.

Are Valtriq products sustainable?

Yes, sustainability is at the core of our design process. Many of our products are made with recycled materials, and we strive to minimize our environmental impact in manufacturing. Additionally, our Recycling Program allows customers to send back old gear for repurposing.

What materials are used in Valtriq products?

We use a variety of performance fabrics, including 100% recycled polyester, merino wool, and down insulation, to provide maximum comfort, durability, and sustainability. We prioritize eco-friendly materials whenever possible and are committed to reducing our environmental footprint.

What’s the difference between a hardshell and a softshell jacket?

A hardshell jacket is designed to be fully waterproof and windproof, making it ideal for harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or snowstorms. A softshell jacket is more breathable and flexible, making it better suited for high-energy activities in mild to moderate conditions. Softshells are often water-resistant but not fully waterproof.

Do your jackets come with built-in ventilation?

Yes, many of our jackets include underarm ventilation zippers (also known as "pit zips") to allow for better airflow during intense activities. This feature helps regulate body temperature by releasing excess heat without sacrificing protection from the elements.

Do you offer jackets for plus sizes?

Yes, we offer a range of sizes from XS to XXL, and we can accommodate custom sizing as well. Please refer to our Size Guide to find the best fit, or contact us for custom sizing options.

What’s the difference between regular fit and athletic fit?

Regular fit jackets provide a more relaxed, comfortable feel and are great for layering over thicker base layers.

Athletic fit jackets are more form-fitting, designed to move with your body during high-intensity activities, with minimal bulk. They’re ideal for sports and activities that require greater mobility.
