It is water-repellent, meaning it handles light rain and snow well, but it is not fully waterproof for heavy downpours.
Yes, tumble dry on low heat, preferably with dryer balls to ensure the down insulation remains fluffy and evenly distributed.
The hood is designed to be tucked into a concealed compartment located in the neckline/collar area.
This refers to the quality of the down; 700-fill power means one ounce of down occupies 700 cubic inches, indicating high insulation efficiency.
The jacket features a signature 'boxy' fit, which is wider than standard fits to allow for comfortable layering.
Use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with a specialized down cleaner, then tumble dry low.
This is common with down products; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the gap.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting with a couple of clean tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore fluffiness.
The DWR coating may have worn off; use a fabric re-proofing spray specifically for technical outdoor apparel to restore water repellency.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow the care label instructions provided inside the garment. It is machine washable, though it is recommended to use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent designed for down-filled apparel. To maintain the 700-fill loft, tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or a dryer ball to fluff the down back up. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it to prevent clumping or mildew. The sizing is generous, so consider layering underneath to determine if the XL fits your specific needs.
