This is normal, especially with a new jacket. Gently pull the feathers back inside. Avoid pulling them from the same spot repeatedly.
The jacket is not as warm as expected.
Ensure you are layering appropriately for the conditions. Check for any areas where insulation might be compressed (e.g., from tight packing).
Water is penetrating the jacket.
