FAQs

Is this jacket waterproof?

The jacket features Windwall™ technology for wind resistance and Heatseeker™ Eco insulation which performs well in damp conditions. However, the polyester outer shell is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, we recommend wearing a dedicated waterproof shell over it.

How do I wash my Aconcagua Hooded Down Jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a down-specific cleaner. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Always refer to the care label for specific instructions.

What is RDS certified down?

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It ensures that down and feathers come from animals that have not been subjected to unnecessary harm, meaning ethical sourcing practices are followed.

Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?

Yes, with 500-fill goose down and Heatseeker™ Eco insulation, it is designed to provide substantial warmth in cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, consider layering it with appropriate base and mid-layers.

Does it have a hood?

Yes, this is the 'Hooded' version of the Aconcagua jacket and features an integrated hood for additional warmth and protection.

What is the material of the jacket?

The primary material listed is Polyester for the outer shell, combined with responsibly-sourced goose down and Heatseeker™ Eco synthetic insulation.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm than expected.

Ensure the jacket is clean and fully lofted. Down requires air to trap heat effectively. If recently washed, make sure it's completely dry and fluffed with dryer balls. Avoid over-compressing the jacket for long periods.

Zipper is sticky or difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and mild soap to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of zipper lubricant (wax-based) can be applied to the teeth for smoother operation.

Small feathers are escaping the jacket.

This is normal for down products, especially when new. Gently push the feather back into the jacket from the inside if possible, rather than pulling it out, to avoid enlarging the hole. If excessive, check for tears or unstitched seams.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio due to 500-fill goose down.
  • Effective insulation even when damp, thanks to Heatseeker™ Eco.
  • Provides good wind resistance with Windwall™ technology.
  • Secure pockets for storing personal items.
  • Made with responsibly sourced and eco-friendly materials.

Cons

  • Down jackets typically require special care for cleaning and drying.
  • Polyester outer shell may not be fully waterproof, requiring an additional rain shell in heavy downpours.
  • May be bulkier than purely synthetic jackets for highly packable situations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your Aconcagua Hooded Down Jacket is ready to wear straight out of the packaging. Simply unzip, put it on, and zip up the VISLON® centre front zip for immediate warmth and protection.

Compatibility

This jacket is designed for adult women and is available in sizes ranging from XS-XXL, ensuring a fit for various body types. The specific size for this product is a UK women's dress size 10. Its versatile design allows it to be worn over base layers and mid-layers, or under a waterproof shell for enhanced weather protection.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your jacket. Always check the care label inside the garment for the most accurate instructions. General guidelines include:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific cleaner. Avoid conventional detergents as they can strip natural oils from down, reducing loft.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down and prevent clumping. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in a stuff sack, as this can compress the down and reduce its loft over time.
  • Material: The main material is Polyester, which is generally durable but still benefits from careful handling.
