Setup and Initial Use
Upon receiving your KLIM Keweenaw jacket, perform a visual inspection to ensure all components are intact and undamaged. Familiarize yourself with the jacket's features before your first use.
Adjustments
- Cuff Adjustments: Secure the cuffs around your wrists to prevent snow entry and retain warmth. Ensure they are snug but do not restrict circulation.
- Collar Adjustment: The collar can be adjusted to provide a comfortable fit around your neck, offering protection from wind and cold.
- Hem Adjustment: Utilize any available drawstrings or adjusters at the jacket's hem to seal out drafts and customize the fit.

Operating Features
The Keweenaw jacket is designed with several features to enhance your snowmobiling experience.
Zipper Closure
The main zipper closure is robust and designed for easy operation even with gloves. Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and pulled up to the top for maximum protection against the elements.
Ventilation System
The jacket features strategically placed vents, typically under the arms, to allow for airflow and temperature regulation. Open these vents when you are exerting more energy or when the ambient temperature rises to prevent overheating. Close them to retain warmth in colder conditions.
Waterproof Design
The jacket's waterproof construction provides a barrier against snow and moisture, keeping you dry. While the material is waterproof, ensure all zippers are closed to maintain the jacket's protective qualities.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care extends the life and performance of your KLIM Keweenaw jacket.
Washing Instructions
- Hand Wash Only: This jacket requires hand washing. Do not machine wash, bleach, iron, or dry clean.
- Use Mild Detergent: Use a mild, non-detergent soap specifically designed for technical outerwear. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can impair the jacket's waterproof properties.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with cool water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not tumble dry. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
Storage
Store your jacket in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods, which can affect insulation loft.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
- Overheating: If you feel too warm, open the jacket's ventilation zippers (e.g., underarm vents) to increase airflow. Adjust your layering underneath the jacket as needed.
- Feeling Cold: Ensure all zippers are fully closed, including vents. Check that cuffs and hem are properly adjusted to seal out cold air. Consider adding additional base or mid-layers for increased insulation.
- Moisture Penetration: Confirm all zippers are completely closed. If water penetration occurs, inspect the jacket for any damage or wear that might compromise its waterproof integrity. Ensure proper care instructions have been followed, as residues can affect waterproofing.
