PRODUCT + SIZING
Q: What is the difference between Manifest and Catalyst?
A: Manifest is our high-alpine performance line bu- ilt for backcountry, touring, and freeride, with an athletic fit designed to work over layers and under packs. Catalyst is our all-mountain line - more relaxed fit, exceptional value, built for resort skiing, snowboarding, park, and après. Full details on each line's collection page.
Q: How do I know which size to order?
A: See our full size guide at [link]. If you're between sizes, Manifest riders who layer heavily should size up. Catalyst fits generously - size as normal.
Q: Is the waterproofing PFC-free?
A: Yes. All DWR treatments across FW26/27 are PFC-Free and PFAS-free. Our XERO™ membrane delivers 20,000mm waterproofing without any forever chemicals.

CARE + REPAIR
Q: How do I wash my Forward jacket?
A: Use a technical outerwear cleaner (Nikwax Tech Wash or similar), gentle cycle, 30°C max. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. Full care instructions here: [link to Care + Repair page].
Q: My DWR seems to have stopped working - is the jacket faulty?
A: Not necessarily. DWR diminishes with use and washing, but it can be restored. Tumble dry on low heat first — heat reactivates DWR. If water still isn't beading, apply a DWR re-treatment spray. Full details on our Care + Repair page.
Q: Can I get my Forward jacket repaired?
A: Yes. Contact us with details of the issue and we'll advise. If the fault is a manufacturing defect, we'll fix or replace it. For other repairs, we can recommend specialist partners.
