Q&A

Where is this product made?

All SKRE gear is designed, tested, and field-proven here in the U.S. by our team and trusted hunters. We manufacture overseas so we can use the materials, factories, and technical processes required to build high-performance hunting gear—while still keeping pricing reasonable and quality extremely high. Every piece goes through strict quality control, and we back it with a lifetime warranty and hands-on customer service based here in the U.S. If something ever fails, we take care of it—no runaround. We fully respect the preference for U.S.-made gear, and we’re always evaluating opportunities to bring more production stateside as it makes sense. Our priority is building gear that performs in the field and standing behind it for life. Appreciate you asking and considering SKRE.

Will this material hold up to briars?

That’s a great question. This jacket is designed for packing in, layering, and staying warm during cold sits. Its main focus is being lightweight and highly insulated. Because of that, the exterior fabric isn’t built to handle heavy briars or brush.

How windproof is this jacket

Great question!The Ptarmigan Jacket is highly wind-resistant, designed to block the majority of wind while still allowing some breathability. It’s not 100% windproof like a hard shell, but the outer nylon fabric and high-fill down insulation create a strong barrier that keeps you warm even in harsh wind conditions. If you’re looking for full windproof protection, layering it under a soft shell like the Nebo or Hardscrabble Jacket works perfectly.

What denier thickness is the exterior shell fabric?

Thank you for your inquiry! The face fabric of our Ptarmigan Jacket and pants are 100% nylon. We do not measure by denier, we measure by GSM. The nylon face fabric of the Down Pant and Jacket is 48 GSM.

Is the slate gray color really just black? It’s hard to tell in the featured photos and customer photos but they all make it appear black, just wanted some clarity on that specific color. Thanks

It is very close to black but not a deep black. color.

What weight are the inner and outer materials of the jacket?

The weight will depend on the size. If we are using XL for example. The total weight of the down is 5.2 ounces. The total weight of the Jacket is roughly 16 ounces which would leave about 11 ounces of total external material weight.

Can you layer this under the guardian jacket?

Yes, almost every piece of our line up is built to be layered including the Ptarmigan Jacket. Our Ptarmigan Jacket is light and compactable enough to go under almost any other jacket we carry.

Can this fit under the guardian jacket?

Yes, almost every piece of our line up is built to be layered including the Ptarmigan Jacket. Our Ptarmigan Jacket is light and compactable enough to go under almost any other jacket we carry.

Is the ptarmigan 850 jacket and pants washable?

Yes, I would recommend hand washing the outside with a damp cloth if it is mild. If it is really dirty, you can wash with cold water on a gentle cycle and then hang dry or tumble dry with low to no heat. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

If it doesn't fit ,can it be exchanged for a different size or refund?

Yes, absolutely. You can find our exchange and return portal at the bottom of our website.
