The jacket uses 700-fill goose down.

What is the material of the jacket?

What is DWR?

Troubleshooting

Down feathers are leaking.

This is normal, but excessive leakage indicates a tear. Check the jacket for any rips or tears and repair them. Do not pull feathers out; gently push them back in.

The jacket feels less warm.

This can happen if the down gets wet or loses its loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing and tumble dry it on low with tennis balls to restore the loft.

The zipper is stuck.

Try lubricating the zipper with a zipper wax or a bar of soap. Gently work the zipper up and down, avoiding excessive force.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

The DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Wash and dry the jacket, then apply a DWR treatment according to the manufacturer's instructions.
