FAQs
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
Yes, the jacket is filled with a high percentage of duck down and feathers and features a waterproof, windproof shell, making it suitable for cold and wet conditions.
How should I wash the jacket?
Close all zippers, wash inside out on a short, gentle cycle (max 30 min) with a color-catcher. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Can I machine dry the jacket?
Yes, tumble dry on a low heat setting with three tennis balls to help restore fluffiness and loft to the down.
What does 'boxy fit' mean?
A 'boxy fit' is a looser, more relaxed cut that is straight from the shoulders to the hem, providing ample room for layering and comfortable movement.
How do I maintain the waterproof coating?
To restore water repellency, you can iron the outer shell at a maximum of 110°C without steam (protected by a towel) or use a specific re-waterproofing treatment.
What is the purpose of the snow skirt?
The attached snow skirt is designed to prevent snow from entering the jacket from the bottom, which is useful for skiing or other snow sports.
Can I use fabric softener on this jacket?
No, fabric softener should not be used as it can damage the fabric and reduce its performance, particularly the waterproof and breathable qualities.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The shell is a blend of polyamide, polyurethane, and elastane. The filling is 80% duck down and 20% duck feathers, with polyester used in pockets and other filling parts.
Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Reactivate water repellency by ironing the outer shell (without steam, protected by a towel) at a low temperature (max 110°C) or by using a suitable re-waterproofing spray followed by tumble drying.
Down clumping after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on a low setting with three clean tennis balls. This helps to break up clumps and restore the down's loft.
Zipper difficult to operate
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to free any obstructions. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth if needed.
