FAQs
Is the hood removable?
No, the Griffin jacket features a 'grown-on' hood, meaning it is permanently attached as part of the jacket's construction.
Can I wear this in the rain?
While the jacket provides warmth, it is best used in dry, cold conditions. If it gets wet, ensure it is dried thoroughly to prevent the down from clumping.
How should I store this jacket during the summer?
Store it in a cool, dry place on a hanger. Avoid storing it compressed in a stuff sack for long periods to preserve the down's loft.
What is the best way to clean this jacket?
Hand wash or gentle machine wash using a specialized down cleaner, followed by tumble drying with dryer balls on a low heat setting.
Does the jacket provide enough room for layers underneath?
Yes, it is designed with an adult fit that generally allows for standard layering of a fleece or base layer underneath.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to have lost loft after washing
Ensure the jacket is tumble dried thoroughly with tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down clusters back to their original state.
Small feathers poking through the fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out completely, then rub the fabric to close the gap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always refer to the internal care label. Use a dedicated down detergent when washing to prevent the natural oils in the feathers from stripping away. Avoid using standard fabric softeners, as these can impair the loft of the down. After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls in the dryer; this process is essential to redistribute the down clusters and restore the jacket's insulating volume. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place, ideally hung on a wide-shouldered hanger rather than compressed for extended periods.
