FAQs
What is the primary purpose of this jacket?
The Fusalp Charloy Down Jacket is designed for cold weather and ski activities, offering warmth, waterproofing, and a retro-inspired style.
How do I best care for the jacket?
Machine wash inside out on a delicate cycle (max 30 mins), tumble dry with tennis balls. Avoid bleach and fabric softener. Dry cleaning is recommended for best care.
Is the hood removable?
No, the jacket features a fixed, adjustable hood for continuous protection.
What does 'oversized fit' mean for this jacket?
An oversized fit means the jacket is designed to be looser and roomier than a standard fit. For a more traditional or snug fit, it's often recommended to purchase one size smaller than your usual size.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent coating and a waterproof membrane, making it suitable for moderate precipitation like snow and light rain. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, additional waterproofing might be necessary.
What material is used for insulation?
The jacket is insulated with 100% Polyester synthetic down, providing warmth without the bulk.
Does it have a powder skirt?
Yes, it features a lightweight, integrated snow skirt designed to keep snow out during activities like skiing or snowboarding.
Troubleshooting
Jacket appears to have lost some water repellency.
Follow the care instructions to reactivate water repellency. This can be done by tumble drying with tennis balls or by carefully ironing the outer shell on a low setting without steam, using a towel as protection.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Gently lubricate with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant. Make sure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth.
Filling feels clumped after washing.
Ensure you used the tumble dry method with three tennis balls as recommended in the care instructions to help redistribute the synthetic filling evenly.
Fit feels too large.
Consider ordering one size down for a more regular or fitted look, as the jacket is designed with an oversized fit. Check the product description for sizing recommendations.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This jacket requires no assembly. Ensure all zippers are functional before first use.
Compatibility: Designed for adult females, suitable for ski and winter activities, as well as casual wear in cold weather.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Close all zippers before washing. Wash inside out using a quick machine wash cycle (maximum 30 minutes).
- Detergents: Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat; remove promptly. Use three tennis balls in the dryer to help redistribute and fluff the synthetic filling.
