Product Information
Full details
The DLX Thompson down jacket is designed for adult hikers, campers, and city dwellers who prioritize warmth and mobility in cold conditions. This ultra-lightweight garment provides a high warmth-to-weight ratio, making it an essential layer for outdoor enthusiasts; however, users should note that the nylon construction is best suited for dry cold or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell during wet weather.

FAQs
Is the DLX Thompson jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from nylon, which is wind-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend wearing a waterproof shell over it in wet conditions.
How small does the jacket pack down?
The jacket comes with its own stuff sack, allowing it to compress into a small bundle that easily fits into a standard daypack.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle using a detergent specifically formulated for down. Always tumble dry on low with dryer balls.
Can this be used as a layering piece?
Yes, its lightweight profile makes it an excellent mid-layer to be worn underneath a larger parka or waterproof jacket.
Is the hood adjustable?
The jacket features a grown-on hood, which is designed to sit securely around the head to provide immediate weather protection.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm or flat
The down may be compressed. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls to restore the loft.
Small feathers poking through the fabric
This is common with down garments. Do not pull the feather out; instead, pull it back into the jacket from the inside to close the puncture hole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the jacket's loft and thermal performance, follow these care guidelines. Always use a gentle wash cycle with specialized down detergent. Never use fabric softeners, as they can degrade the insulation quality. For drying, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the down filling and restore its original fluffiness. Store the jacket hanging up or in a breathable garment bag when not in use, rather than leaving it compressed in the stuff sack for long periods.
