FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the Diablo Down 2.0 is designed for warmth. While it can handle light snowfall, it is not waterproof and should be paired with a rain shell in wet conditions.
How should I store the jacket?
Hang the jacket in a breathable, dry environment to maintain the integrity of the down fill.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, but only use a front-loading machine with specialized down detergent on a gentle cycle.
What is the purpose of the two-layer yoke?
The double-layer overlay on the shoulders provides increased durability and abrasion resistance against pack straps and gear.
Does this jacket have an adjustable hem?
Yes, it features a cinchable drawcord at the bottom hem to trap heat and customize the fit.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is common with new down garments. Pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out, then rub the fabric gently to seal the hole.
The jacket feels flat after storage
Tumble dry the jacket on a low-heat setting for 10-20 minutes with clean dryer balls to restore the loft of the down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a down-filled garment, maintenance is key to long-term performance. Always store the jacket hanging in a cool, dry place to ensure the down maintains its loft; avoid compressing it in a stuff sack for extended periods. When cleaning, use a front-loading washing machine with a specialized down cleaner on a gentle cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down feathers and prevent clumping. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to avoid mildew.
