FAQs
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses Berghaus's Hydrodown insulation, which is a water-repellent down designed to maintain warmth even in damp conditions.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features water-repellent properties, making it suitable for light rain or damp conditions. For heavy or prolonged rain, a fully waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How do I clean the jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash the jacket at 40 degrees Celsius, using a specific down wash if possible, and to tumble dry on a low heat with dryer balls to restore loft.
What are the pocket options?
The jacket has two raised zipped hand pockets and one internal zipped pocket for secure storage.
Can the hood be removed?
No, the hood is fixed and cannot be removed.
What is the intended use for this jacket?
This jacket is designed for adult males for general use in cool to mild weather, providing warmth and some water resistance for urban commutes and casual outdoor activities.
Does the branding affect the jacket's performance?
The branding is an embossed detail and does not impact the jacket's insulation or water-repellent capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses loft after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on a low heat with dryer balls. Multiple cycles may be needed to fully re-loft the down.
Water repellency is reduced
Apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment designed for down clothing after cleaning. Follow product instructions carefully.
Zips are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zip teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a little wax from a candle. Avoid using oily lubricants.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no specific setup. It is designed for direct wear. Compatibility is with standard adult male apparel.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius. Use a specific down wash if possible. Ensure all zips are closed before washing.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to restore the loft and effectiveness of the down insulation. It may take several cycles to dry completely.
- Repellency: If water repellency diminishes over time, a reproofing treatment suitable for down garments can be applied after washing and drying.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Avoid compressing for long periods to maintain loft.
