What makes Salomon jackets different from general outdoor jackets?

Salomon jackets are cut for running and active mountain movement, not just weather protection. This means shorter overall length with a longer hem at the back, reduced arm volume to eliminate wind-catching fabric, articulated construction that doesn't restrict arm swing, and a lighter weight overall than equivalent protection in standard outdoor jacket constructions. They're genuinely optimised for wearing at pace.

Can Salomon running jackets be used for hiking and everyday outdoor wear?

Yes — the packable construction and clean silhouette of Salomon trail jackets make them well-suited to hiking, travel and everyday outdoor use. The GORE-TEX® waterproofing and taped seams perform in all wet-weather conditions, not just running. The only practical difference from a hiking-specific shell is the shorter overall length at the front hem.

How do I maintain the waterproofing on a Salomon GORE-TEX® jacket?

Wash at 30°C with a technical fabric wash — standard detergent residue blocks the GORE-TEX® micropores and reduces breathability over time. Tumble dry on low heat after every wash — heat reactivates the DWR coating on the outer face fabric. Apply reproofing spray when the outer fabric starts to wet out rather than beading after tumble drying.
