How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash in cold water (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I use fabric softener?
No, avoid using fabric softeners as they can damage the down's properties.
Where is the interior pocket located?
The jacket has an interior zippered pocket for valuables.
What is the purpose of the 2-way front zipper?
The 2-way front zipper facilitates ventilation and easy access when wearing a harness.
Troubleshooting
The jacket is not as warm as expected.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers. Check for any areas of compression in the down and redistribute if necessary. Consider the wind chill factor and dress accordingly.
The jacket is not repelling water effectively.
Wash the jacket using a down-specific detergent and re-apply a DWR (durable water repellent) treatment after washing, following the product's instructions.
The zipper is difficult to operate.
Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper if it gets stuck; instead, try gently wiggling it.
