FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?

Yes, the jacket is designed with generous down insulation (80% duck down, 20% duck feather) and a waterproof/windproof shell, making it suitable for cold and wet conditions, including extreme cold.

How do I wash the jacket?

Close zippers, wash inside out separately on a short, gentle cycle (max 30 minutes) with an anti-discoloration agent. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry with tennis balls to restore loft.

Can I iron the jacket?

Yes, to reactivate water repellency, you can iron the outer shell at a maximum of 110°C without steam, using a towel for protection. Avoid ironing directly on any printed logos or details.

What is the fit like?

The jacket features a boxy, oversized fit, designed for a relaxed silhouette and comfortable layering.

Does it have a powder skirt?

Yes, it includes an attached lightweight snow skirt designed to keep snow and wind out.

What materials are used in the jacket?

The main body is made of polyamide, polyurethane, and elastane. Insulation is 80% duck down, 20% duck feather. Specific materials vary slightly for storm cuffs, stripes, lining, and pockets.

How should I store the jacket?

Do not store the jacket while wet or folded for extended periods. Hanging it allows the insulation to maintain its loft.

Troubleshooting

Jacket loft is reduced after washing.

Tumble dry the jacket with 3 clean tennis balls. The balls help to break up clumps of down and restore the natural loft.

Water repellency seems diminished.

You can reactivate water repellency by ironing the outer shell at a maximum of 110°C without steam, using a towel for protection. Alternatively, reapply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after cleaning.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently try to move it back and forth. If it persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the zipper teeth.

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure all zippers and closures are sealed to prevent drafts. Check that the down hasn't become compacted; if so, follow the drying instructions to restore loft. Make sure you are layering appropriately underneath for the temperature.
