Belstaff Pendulum Down Jacket - Black - 34

No, the jacket is described as "water-repellent," meaning it is designed to resist light rain and snow, causing water to bead up and run off. It is not fully waterproof for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

It is best to hand wash with a specialized down cleaner or have it professionally dry cleaned. If hand washing, ensure all zippers are closed, rinse thoroughly, and then tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to fluff the down. Always check the care label inside the jacket first.

The jacket is ideal for cold and damp conditions, providing significant warmth and protection against light rain and wind, making it suitable for autumn and winter daily wear, urban commuting, and light outdoor activities.

While primarily an insulating layer, the 3-Layer Stretch Down and Polyester/Elastane blend offer a balance of warmth and flexibility. For high-intensity activities, it provides some breathability, but it's not designed as a highly breathable active shell.

The adjustable storm cuffs feature integrated thumbholes that you can slide your thumbs through. This helps to keep the sleeves securely in place, prevent cold air from entering, and provide extra warmth for your hands, especially when wearing gloves.

Yes, the jacket includes an internal pocket, providing a secure place to store your phone, wallet, or other small valuables.

Store the jacket on a wide, padded hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can flatten the down and reduce its loft. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.

This is often due to down clumping. Re-dry the jacket on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up the clumps and restore the down's loft and insulating power. This process can take several hours.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish might need revitalization. After cleaning and ensuring the jacket is fully dry, apply a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outerwear. Follow the product's instructions carefully.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. If the zipper is stiff, try applying a small amount of a specialized zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth and slide the zipper up and down several times to distribute it.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Any residual moisture can cause odors. If the odor persists, a second wash with a specialized down cleaner and a thorough, long drying cycle with dryer balls is recommended.
