Frequently Asked Questions
How warm is the Spyder Wildcard jacket for cold ski days?
The jacket uses 3M Thinsulate insulation — 100g in the body and 80g in the sleeves — which provides solid warmth for most resort skiing conditions without excessive bulk. For extreme cold, a midlayer underneath adds extra protection.
Is the Wildcard jacket waterproof or just water-resistant?
It carries a 10K/10K waterproof-breathable rating with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. This handles moderate snowfall and wet conditions well, though it is not a hardshell and may wet out in prolonged heavy rain.
Can I wear a helmet with the hood up?
Yes, the removable hood is specifically designed to be helmet-compatible, with an adjustable opening that fits over most ski helmets.
What pockets does this jacket have?
The Wildcard includes hand pockets, a chest pocket, and a data card pocket, all with reverse coil zippers for weather resistance.
How should I wash this jacket?
Machine wash according to care instructions. To maintain the DWR water-repellent finish, avoid fabric softeners and tumble dry on low heat or re-treat with a DWR spray after several washes.
