FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the down filling?
The primary benefit of the 80% duck down and 20% duck feather filling is its excellent thermal insulation, providing significant warmth in cold conditions.
How does the jacket handle wet weather?
The jacket features a waterproof stretch shell and a water-repellent finish, designed to keep you dry by repelling water and preventing it from soaking into the fabric.
Can I wear this jacket for skiing?
Yes, the jacket is designed for cold, wet conditions and includes features like a waterproof shell, down insulation, and a zippered ski pass pocket, making it suitable for skiing and other snow sports.
What is the recommended washing method?
Wash the jacket inside out on a short cycle (max 30 minutes) with an anti-discoloration agent, closing all zippers beforehand. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. It's recommended to wash it separately.
How do I restore the jacket's puffiness after washing?
Tumble dry the jacket with 3 tennis balls. This is essential for breaking up any clumped down and feathers and restoring the insulation's loft.
What does 'boxy oversized fit' mean?
A boxy oversized fit refers to a relaxed, roomy silhouette that is cut straight and does not taper significantly at the waist or hips. It allows for comfortable layering and a modern aesthetic.
How can I reactivate the water repellency if not using a tumble dryer?
You can reactivate water repellency by ironing the outer fabric at a maximum of 110°C without steam, ensuring it is protected by a towel.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loft appears reduced after washing.
Ensure the jacket is properly tumble dried with 3 tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and feathers and restore the loft.
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off.
The water-repellent finish may need reactivation. Try ironing the outer fabric on a low heat setting (max 110°C) without steam, protected by a towel. If this doesn't resolve it, professional re-waterproofing treatment may be required.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Ensure zippers are clean. Occasionally, a small amount of wax can help improve zipper function. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
