FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for very cold winter conditions?
This jacket features 80g synthetic insulation, making it ideal for moderate cold or as a layering piece in colder conditions. For extreme cold, you may need to add more insulating layers underneath.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls.
Will the water-repellent feature last?
The water repellency is durable but can diminish over time with use and washing. You can restore it by applying a DWR treatment after cleaning.
What is the purpose of the side stretch fleece inserts?
The stretch fleece inserts enhance flexibility and comfort, allowing for a greater range of motion during physical activities.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket is highly water-repellent, suitable for light rain or snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof outer shell would be more appropriate.
What kind of material is the main insulation made of?
The insulation is made of synthetic fibers, providing warmth even when damp and drying quickly.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Clean the jacket according to care instructions and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic outer shells.
Loss of insulation loft
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help restore the loft of the synthetic filling.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to ensure smooth operation.
Pilling on fleece inserts
This is normal wear for fleece. Ensure proper washing and drying techniques, and gently remove any pills with a fabric shaver if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific setup as it is ready to wear upon purchase. It is designed as outerwear and is compatible with a range of base layers and mid-layers for adjustable warmth. For care, it is recommended to machine wash the jacket following the instructions on the care label, typically using a gentle cycle with mild detergent and cold water. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the water-repellent treatment and affect breathability. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help re-loft the synthetic insulation and restore its loft. For best results and to maintain water repellency, consider applying a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically, especially after several washes.
