FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the down insulation?
The down insulation provides excellent warmth-to-weight ratio, meaning it offers significant warmth without adding bulk or heaviness to the jacket.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket has a water-repellent treatment, which is effective against light rain or mist. For prolonged or heavy rainfall, a waterproof jacket would be more appropriate.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or iron. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
While it offers good insulation, for extremely cold winter conditions, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
What materials is the jacket made from?
The shell and lining are 100% polyamide. The padding consists of 90% duck down and 10% duck feathers.
What does the double-slider front zipper do?
It allows for more versatile fastening and ventilation. You can zip it up from the bottom, the top, or both, allowing you to adjust airflow and comfort easily.
Troubleshooting
Jacket loses loft after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry by tumble drying on low heat with dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and feathers.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear any obstructions. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or wax can be applied to the teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider using a specialized re-waterproofing spray suitable for down garments after cleaning and drying.
