FAQs
What is the fill power of the down used in this jacket?
The jacket uses 700 fill power down, which offers a good balance of warmth and weight for its intended use.
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, the jacket is water-resistant due to its down insulation and fabric but is not fully waterproof. It's designed primarily for warmth in dry or lightly wet conditions.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold weather?
The jacket provides significant warmth, but for extremely cold temperatures, it is recommended to layer it with other insulating garments or a waterproof outer shell.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent, and tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.
What does 'responsibly sourced' down mean?
It means the down used in the jacket has been sourced from suppliers who adhere to animal welfare standards, ensuring ethical treatment of the birds.
How do I care for the jacket to maintain its loft?
Proper washing and drying are key. Always tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls after washing. Store the jacket uncompressed in a dry place when not in use.
What is the benefit of elasticated cuffs?
Elasticated cuffs help to create a snug seal around your wrists, preventing cold air from entering the jacket and warm air from escaping.
Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less warm than expected
Ensure the down insulation is fully lofted. If the jacket has been compressed for a long time, tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to restore loft. Check that all zippers are fully closed and cuffs are snug.
Down feathers are escaping
Some minor 'ticking' or feather escape is normal for down products, especially when new. If significant amounts are coming out, check seams for damage. Gently pull any protruding feathers back inside rather than pulling them out.
Jacket feels damp or clammy
This jacket is water-resistant but not waterproof. Heavy rain or snow may penetrate. Ensure the jacket is completely dry after use. If washed, ensure it is thoroughly dried as per care instructions.
