Full details

FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

It is water and wind-resistant, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.

What is 650 fill down?

This refers to the quality and loft of the down; 650 fill provides a great balance of warmth, weight, and packability.

Can I wear this as a mid-layer?

Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer under a shell jacket during extreme winter conditions.

How do I store the jacket long-term?

Store it hanging in a dry closet rather than keeping it compressed in a stuff sack to preserve the down's structural integrity.

Does it have internal pockets?

The jacket features an internal neck baffle, but please refer to the specific garment internal tags to check for pocket placement.

Is the hood adjustable?

The hood is designed with a front baffle to seal out draughts, providing a snug fit for extra warmth.

Troubleshooting

Jacket losing loft over time

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to fluff the down fibers.

Small feathers poking through the fabric

This is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the hole.

Jacket smells after heavy use

Wash the jacket using a dedicated down-wash product and ensure it is dried thoroughly in a well-ventilated area.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Retains warmth even when wet due to Hydrodown technology
  • Lightweight and packable for easier transport
  • High wind resistance provided by Pertex Quantum material
  • Modern, functional style suitable for casual and technical use

Cons

  • Shorter length may provide less coverage than longer jackets
  • Down insulation requires specific laundering techniques
  • Not suitable for extreme, high-altitude alpine expeditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this jacket uses premium down, proper maintenance is essential for longevity. To keep the loft consistent, store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it in a stuff sack for long periods. If cleaning is required, use a specialized down-wash detergent in a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle. Always include clean tennis balls or dryer balls in the tumble dryer on a low heat setting to help redistribute the down and restore the jacket's original loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storage to prevent clumping or mildew.
