FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The EA7 Core Identity Jacket is water-resistant due to its polyamide material, meaning it can handle light rain or moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for heavy downpours.
What is the primary benefit of the down and feather filling?
The 90% down and 10% duck feather filling provides excellent thermal insulation while remaining exceptionally lightweight and compressible, offering warmth without bulk.
How do I know if I have the right size?
This jacket is listed as XXXXL. Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart for EA7 apparel to ensure the best fit, considering the jacket's regular fit design.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
While it offers good warmth for its weight, it is best suited for transitional seasons or as a layer in colder weather. For extreme cold, additional layers or a more heavily insulated jacket might be necessary.
How should I store the jacket when not in use?
Store the jacket loosely in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in a compressed state, as this can reduce the loft and insulating properties of the down.
What does 'packable' mean in the context of this jacket?
Packable means the jacket can be easily folded or compressed into a very small size, making it highly portable and convenient for travel or storage.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses loft after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry by using a low-heat tumble dryer with tennis balls to break up clumps of down. Repeat drying cycles if necessary.
Down feathers are escaping
Minor leakage can occur with down products. If significant leakage is observed, check seams for potential damage or holes. Gently pull any escaped feathers back through the fabric from the inside.
Elasticated piping feels tight
The elastane in the piping provides a snug fit. If it feels restrictive, ensure you have the correct size. The material may also loosen slightly with wear.
