Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Due to the down filling, it is recommended to follow the specific care label instructions. Typically, machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent is advised. A small amount of tennis balls can be added to the dryer to help re-fluff the down.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew and clumping of the down.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid long-term compression, as this can reduce the loft and insulating properties of the down. Using a breathable garment bag is ideal.
