Full details
The Montane Tundra Hooded Down Jacket is designed for adult females seeking a warm, elegant, and durable jacket for everyday activities and light outdoor pursuits. Its key benefit is exceptional warmth and coverage due to its longer cut, effectively blocking cold to keep the body and legs warm. A potential consideration is its focus on casual wear, meaning it may not be suited for extreme high-altitude or technical mountaineering. Key features include a recycled nylon outer with PFC-free DWR, 220g of 700+ fill power 100% recycled and water-resistant down, and a recycled lining.

FAQs
What is the primary use for this jacket?
The Montane Tundra Hooded Down Jacket is designed for everyday wear and casual outdoor activities, providing warmth and comfort in cool to cold conditions.
Is the down used in this jacket treated to be water-resistant?
Yes, the jacket is filled with 100% recycled and water-resistant down using HyperDRY™ technology, which helps maintain loft and insulation in damp conditions.
Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?
Yes, it is recommended to machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle using a down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
How should I dry the jacket after washing?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute and re-loft the down. This may require multiple cycles.
What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?
PFC-free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent finish applied to the outer fabric does not contain per- or poly-fluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold weather?
While very warm for everyday use, it is primarily intended for casual wear and may not provide sufficient insulation for extreme cold or high-altitude mountaineering.
What material is the outer fabric made from?
The outer fabric is 100% recycled nylon, specifically Barrier AC Eco, treated with a PFC-free DWR.
Troubleshooting
Down clumping after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Place it back in the tumble dryer on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls for an extended period to break up any clumps and restore loft.
Reduced warmth
The down may have lost some of its loft due to moisture or compression. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry, then tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to re-loft the insulation.
Outer fabric feels stiff
This can be due to the PFC-free DWR. If stiffness is a concern, consider a gentle wash with a down-specific cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents.
