Can I use fabric softener?
No, fabric softeners can damage the performance of the down insulation and the water-repellent coating.

Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is normal for high-loft jackets; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to close the hole.
Jacket feels flat after washing
Ensure the jacket is tumble-dried with dryer balls to redistribute and fluff the down feathers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket does not require specific setup. To maintain the integrity of the down insulation, it is recommended to wash the jacket using a specialized down detergent on a gentle cycle. Always tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help the down clusters regain their loft. Avoid using harsh chemicals or bleach. For storage, avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods when at home; hang it in a cool, dry closet to allow the down to breathe.
