FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is made from technical fabric which offers some water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. It is designed for warmth and protection against light moisture, not heavy rain.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to the brand's specific sizing chart. Measurements for chest, waist, and arm length are usually provided. It's advisable to compare these with your own measurements and consider if you prefer a snug fit or room for layering.
Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?
This jacket provides good warmth for its weight, making it suitable for cool to cold conditions. For extremely cold weather, it is best used as a mid-layer under a more protective outer shell.
How does the packable feature work?
The jacket is designed to be folded or rolled into a small bundle and stored within its accompanying dust bag. This makes it highly portable and convenient for travel or when you need to stow it away.
What is the difference between this jacket and one with a hood?
The 'Core Identity' jacket as described features a stand collar. Some variations of EA7 packable jackets may include a hood for additional head and neck protection, which is not present in this specific model.
How often should I wash my down jacket?
Down jackets do not need frequent washing. Wash only when visibly dirty or when odor is present. Over-washing can reduce the loft and insulating properties of the down.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels flat or less warm than expected.
The down filling may have clumped during shipping or washing. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to help redistribute and re-loft the down.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear any obstructions. Lubricate the zipper track with a graphite pencil or wax if it remains stiff.
Care label instructions are unclear.
Consult the EA7 official website or customer service for detailed garment care guidelines. Generally, cold wash and low tumble dry are recommended for down jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: This jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear upon unpacking.
Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket is suitable for layering over sweaters, t-shirts, or base layers. Its versatility allows it to be worn in various casual settings.
Care: To maintain the quality and loft of the goose-down filling, it is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent specifically designed for down products.
