Belstaff Pendulum Down Jacket - Black

The Belstaff Pendulum Down Jacket features a water-repellent finish, which means it will shed light rain and snow effectively. However, it is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy or prolonged downpours. For those conditions, a dedicated waterproof shell would be more appropriate.

Yes, but with caution. Always check the specific care label inside your jacket first. Generally, it's recommended to machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with a specialized down cleaner. Avoid regular detergents and fabric softeners. Ensure thorough drying with dryer balls on a low heat setting to prevent down clumping.

The adjustable storm cuffs have integrated thumbholes. These allow you to extend the cuff over part of your hand, providing extra warmth and preventing cold air from entering the sleeves. They also help keep the sleeves in place during activity.

3-Layer Stretch Down refers to the insulation technology used in the jacket. It means the down filling is encapsulated within three layers of fabric that offer a degree of stretch. This construction provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, durability, and allows for greater freedom of movement compared to traditional down jackets.

The jacket features an adjustable drawcord hood to cinch around your head, adjustable storm cuffs for wrist snugness, and an adjustable drawcord hem at the bottom of the jacket. These can all be tightened or loosened to achieve a personalized fit and seal out cold air.

The factory-applied water-repellent (DWR) finish will gradually wear off over time and with washes. If you notice water no longer beads on the surface, you can restore the repellency by washing the jacket and then applying a DWR re-treatment product specifically designed for technical outerwear.

The down filling may have clumped or lost loft. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls for several hours. This will help redistribute and re-fluff the down.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating might need re-activating or reapplying. Wash the jacket as per care instructions, then apply a DWR-restoring spray designed for outdoor apparel.

Gently apply a small amount of graphite from a pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism. Avoid forcing the zipper.

This often indicates trapped moisture or insufficient drying. Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing. If the odor persists, re-wash with a down-specific cleaner and tumble dry thoroughly with dryer balls.
