FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for extremely cold weather?

With 750 Fill Power duck down, the jacket offers significant insulation suitable for cold and variable conditions. For extreme sub-zero temperatures, layering appropriately underneath is recommended for optimal warmth and protection.

How do I make the jacket packable?

To pack the jacket, simply compress it into its own pocket or a small stuff sack (if provided). Roll it tightly from the hood down to remove air, then secure it. This feature makes it incredibly convenient for travel or when the weather changes.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket features a PFAS-free water-repellent finish and a water-resistant centre front zip. This means it will effectively repel light rain and snow. However, it is not fully waterproof, and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to some moisture penetration.

What does 'RDS certified down' mean?

'RDS certified down' refers to the Responsible Down Standard. This certification ensures that the down and feathers used come from ducks that have been treated humanely, meaning they have not been subjected to unnecessary harm throughout the supply chain.

Can I machine wash the jacket?

Yes, the jacket can be machine washed. Use a cold, gentle cycle with a down-specific cleaner. It is crucial to rinse thoroughly and then tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls until completely dry to restore the down's loft and prevent clumping.

What type of material is the outer shell?

The outer shell is made from 100% recycled nylon with a high-shine finish and a durable micro ripstop construction. This material provides resilience, helps with the jacket's ultralight properties, and offers a distinctive look.

Will the high-shine finish fade over time?

The high-shine finish is an inherent characteristic of the recycled nylon material and is designed to be durable. Like any garment, prolonged exposure to harsh elements, frequent friction, or improper care might gradually affect its appearance over a very long period, but it is built for longevity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket appears flat or has lost its loft after washing.

This is common after washing or prolonged compression. Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to redistribute and fluff up the down filling. Repeat as needed until loft is fully restored.

Water repellency seems less effective during light rain.

The PFAS-free water-repellent finish can diminish with wear and washing. To reactivate or restore it, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean and dry before application.

Zipper snags or is difficult to operate.

First, check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth and carefully remove it. If the path is clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or zipper wax) to the teeth to improve smooth operation. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions

  • Washing:
  1. Close all zippers and secure any drawcords before washing.
  2. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a down-specific cleaner, not standard laundry detergent, to protect the down and finish.
  3. Rinse thoroughly to ensure all soap residue is completely removed.
  • Drying:
  1. Tumble dry on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up down clumps and restore the jacket's loft.
  2. Dry for an extended period, checking frequently, until the down is completely dry and fluffy. Any remaining moisture can cause mildew or damage the down.
  • Storage:
  1. Store the jacket unpacked and uncompressed in a cool, dry place to maintain the down's loft. Avoid prolonged storage in its packed state, as this can diminish its insulating properties.
  • Reactivating Water Repellency:
  1. Over time, the PFAS-free water-repellent finish may diminish. To restore its effectiveness, use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray or wash-in treatment specifically designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
