Troubleshooting

Down is clumping or has lost loft.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to redistribute the down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry.

Jacket is not providing adequate warmth.

Ensure the jacket is the correct size and fit. Consider layering with additional garments. Check for any damage to the outer fabric that might be affecting insulation.

Zipper is sticking.

Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Fabric is snagged or torn.

Repair small tears with a patch kit designed for outdoor gear or seek professional repair services. Avoid washing if there are significant tears.
