FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is water-resistant, suitable for light snow or brief exposure to moisture, but it is not a fully waterproof rain shell.
Can I wear this jacket while hiking?
Yes, it is excellent for hiking, particularly during rest periods or in very cold climates where you need maximum heat retention.
How should I store it in the off-season?
Store it hanging in a closet or in a large, breathable fabric bag. Avoid keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods.
What is the benefit of the dual-layer yoke?
The dual-layer yoke adds an extra barrier against wear and tear in areas that experience the most friction, such as when carrying a backpack.
Is the hood compatible with helmets?
The Diablo Down 2.0 is a versatile technical piece, but it is primarily designed as a thermal layer; check the specific product cut to confirm helmet volume compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is normal for down jackets. Use your fingers to push the feather back inside from the opposite side rather than pulling it out, which creates a larger hole.
Jacket has lost its loft (looks flat)
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with clean dryer balls for 15-20 minutes to help restore volume and loft to the down clusters.
Pros and Cons

- Requires specific care for down insulation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Diablo Down 2.0, follow these care guidelines. Always wash the jacket in a front-loading washing machine using a specialized down cleaner on a gentle cycle. After washing, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters and prevent clumping. Avoid dry cleaning as the chemicals can strip the natural oils from the down feathers. When not in use, store the jacket in a cool, dry place hanging up or in a breathable storage bag rather than compressed, as long-term compression can degrade the insulation's loft.
