Zavetti Canada Virna Slim Puffer Jacket - Black

The main outer material is 100% Polyester. The insulation fill is 100% Recycled Polyester.

No, the jacket is made from a light, water-resistant polyester. This means it will repel light rain and snow, but it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.

The jacket is machine washable. For best results and to preserve the fill, always consult the specific care label inside the garment. Generally, a gentle cycle with cold water is recommended, followed by air drying or tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls.

The product description states the hood is 'fur-lined'. Info needed: It does not specify whether this is real or faux fur. Please refer to the product tag or manufacturer's website for specific details on the fur type.

The jacket features recycled poly fill for warmth and is designed to beat cold conditions. However, its 'slim fit' and 'light' construction suggest it's optimized for typical cold weather rather than extreme arctic temperatures. For very severe cold, additional layering or a heavier-duty jacket may be required.

The 'slim fit' design means the jacket is cut closer to the body for a more tailored look. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thicker layers underneath, you might consider sizing up from your usual size.

The product description mentions 'zip-up side pockets' on the exterior for safe storage. Info needed: It does not explicitly state the presence of any interior pockets.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and cuffs are snugly fitted to prevent cold air entry. Consider your layering choices; for very cold weather, wear appropriate thermal base layers underneath. The jacket is designed for cold but not extreme arctic conditions.

The jacket is water-resistant, meaning it repels light moisture, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain or prolonged exposure, additional waterproof outerwear may be needed. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce water repellency. Info needed: The product description doesn't specify if it has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that can be refreshed.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. You can also try applying a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or specialized zipper wax) along the teeth.

After washing, the fill may clump. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This will help to break up the clumps and redistribute the recycled polyester fill, restoring its loft and puffiness.
