FAQs
What is the primary filling of the jacket?
The jacket is padded with 90% down and 10% feathers for excellent insulation.
Can I wash this jacket in a regular washing machine cycle?
No, it requires a delicate cycle at 30°C. Refer to the care instructions for detailed guidance.
How do I ensure the down doesn't clump after washing?
The best method is to tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up any clumps and restore loft.
What does 'recycled polyester' mean for the jacket?
It means the main fabric is made from post-consumer or post-industrial plastic waste, which helps conserve resources and reduce waste compared to virgin polyester.
What is the front body length for a size M?
For a size M, the front body length is 74.5cm and the rear body length is 75.5cm.
Does the jacket have an inside pocket?
Yes, it includes an inside breast pocket for storing valuables.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
While the jacket offers some protection, it is primarily designed for warmth and is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, an additional waterproof outer layer may be necessary.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears flat or loses loft after washing.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Place it in a tumble dryer on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Run for several cycles, pausing to redistribute the filling manually, until the loft is restored.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket has lost its water repellency.
Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish suitable for synthetic fabrics. Follow the product instructions for application, typically involving washing and heat activation.
