FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It is water-resistant thanks to the DWR coating, meaning it can handle light rain or snow, but it is not intended for heavy, prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How does the sizing run?
The jacket features an oversized fit. If you prefer a more snug or traditional silhouette, you may want to consider sizing down.
Does it have an internal pocket?
The jacket includes three practical pockets for storage; check the interior lining for an additional secure zip or slip pocket.
Can I wear this in extreme sub-zero temperatures?
While highly insulated, the Saikuru is best for urban winter use. For extreme arctic conditions, a technical parka may provide superior coverage.
Is the hood detachable?
The Saikuru Short Puffer is designed with a funnel neck and does not include a hood.
Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading up.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish has worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray treatment.
Insulation feels clumped or uneven.
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the synthetic fibers evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Saikuru jacket in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in cold water using a mild, technical detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners as they can compromise the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the insulation and restore the jacket's loft.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the shoulders and collar.
- Maintenance: If the water-repellent finish stops causing water to bead, use a technical DWR re-waterproofing spray to restore performance.
