Please Note: The front image of the Rooibos/Pavement version shows a vest instead of a jacket. It's used to display the main front orange - like color of the jacket. The rear image is 100% correct, showing both the sleeves and back in the Pavement color.
Using the Big Agnes Smokin Axle Ultralight Jacket is easy. Just put it on like any other jacket. It's great for high - energy activities like skiing or hiking. The adjustable draw - cord hem can be tightened to keep the cold air out and your body heat in. The thumb holes are there to keep your hands warm and prevent cold air from getting in through the sleeves.
When it comes to maintenance, you can machine - wash this jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners as they can damage the water - repellent finish and the insulation. Hang it to dry instead of using a dryer, as high heat can also harm the materials.
Be careful with sharp objects as the ripstop fabric, while durable, can still get torn. And remember, the front image might show a vest, but it's just to give you an idea of the color. The actual product is a jacket with the correct sleeves and back as shown in the rear image.
