FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is designed to shed light rain and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and may not provide adequate protection in heavy downpours.

What is the fill material?

The jacket is filled with 80% duck down and 20% duck feathers, providing lightweight yet effective insulation.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

This jacket offers lightweight warmth and is best suited for mild to cool conditions. For extremely cold weather, consider layering it over warmer garments or choosing a heavier insulated jacket.

How do I choose the right size?

The jacket features a slim fit. Refer to the size chart provided by adidas and consider your preferred layering. If you plan to wear thick layers underneath, you might consider sizing up.

What does PFC-free mean?

PFC-free means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain perfluorinated chemicals, which are considered harmful to the environment.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket loosely in a breathable bag or on a hanger. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can damage the down insulation and reduce its loft.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loses loft after washing

Ensure the jacket is properly tumble dried on a low setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to break up clumps and restore the down's natural fluffiness.

Water repellency seems reduced

The PFC-free finish may naturally diminish over time. Consider using a specialized down wash and re-waterproofer product suitable for outdoor apparel. Avoid fabric softeners during washing.

Zipper is difficult to use

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstructions. If the zipper is stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a wax-based product can help lubricate it.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. No assembly or setup is required.

Compatibility: Designed for adult females, this jacket has a slim fit. It pairs well with casual wear such as jeans, leggings, or athletic pants. For layering, consider thinner base layers like t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, or light sweaters to maintain comfort within the slim fit.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash warm at 30 degrees Celsius.
  • Detergent: Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls or dryer balls to help restore the down's loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Avoid: Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the water-repellent properties and the fill's loft.
