FAQs

How often should I wash my Annapurna Jacket?

Wash only when necessary, typically at the end of a season or when the jacket becomes soiled and loses its loft.

Can I use a regular washing machine?

Use a front-loading washing machine. Avoid top-loading machines with agitators, as they can damage the jacket.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a down-specific detergent to preserve the down's natural oils.

How do I dry the jacket?

Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to help restore the down's loft and prevent clumping.

How should I store the jacket?

Store it in a breathable storage sack in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods.

What is the warranty on the Annapurna Jacket?

Warranty information can be found on the Mountain Equipment website or product documentation.

Can I repair the jacket if it tears?

Yes, it is recommended to have any tears or damage repaired by a professional outdoor gear repair service.

Troubleshooting

Down is clumping or losing loft.

Wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry to restore loft.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate zippers with a zipper wax or dry lubricant.

Water is penetrating the outer fabric.

Check for any damage or wear and tear. Reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment if necessary.
