It features a water-resistant nylon construction filled with high-quality down insulation, making it an excellent choice for cold, wet conditions.

It is water-resistant, meaning it can handle light rain and snow, but it is not fully waterproof and should not be used as a substitute for a dedicated rain shell in heavy downpours.
Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle and tumble dry on low. Using dryer balls helps prevent the down from clumping.
No, the hood is attached and is designed to pack neatly into the collar when not in use.
The jacket features a square, boxy fit. Depending on your preference for layering, you may find it fits slightly larger than standard athletic-cut jackets.
The shell is 100% nylon, and the insulation consists of 90% down and 10% waterfowl feathers.
Small amounts of shedding are normal for down jackets. Avoid pulling the feathers out; instead, gently pull them back inside from the opposite side and rub the fabric to reseal the opening.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore loft.
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, follow the manufacturer's care guidelines: machine wash the garment in cold water and tumble dry on low heat. It is recommended to use specialized down detergent to maintain the loft of the feathers. Because the jacket has a square fit, users who prefer a more streamlined silhouette may want to consider sizing down. The jacket is compatible with standard layering techniques; it is spacious enough to accommodate a mid-layer fleece or sweater underneath without restricting movement.
