Polo Ralph Lauren Ripstop Down Jacket - Black - Kids Size 6

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Use dryer balls and tumble dry on low heat until completely dry, which may take multiple cycles.

The jacket features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light rain and moisture. For heavy downpours, additional waterproof outerwear is recommended.

Fill Power is a measure of the loft or fluffiness of the down. 650 cuin indicates good quality down that provides efficient insulation for its weight.

It is generally best to avoid dry cleaning down-filled garments unless the care label explicitly permits it, as the chemicals used can damage the down's insulating properties. Machine washing and tumble drying are preferred.

After washing and drying, tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls. This process helps to break up any clumps of down and restore its original loft.

Ripstop fabric is a weaving technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping. Interlocking threads are woven at regular intervals, creating a grid pattern that reinforces the fabric.

For very cold conditions or snow, this jacket provides good warmth. However, layering with additional insulating clothing underneath is recommended for optimal comfort in extreme winter weather.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls for an extended period, checking and redistributing the down periodically until full loft is restored.

The water-repellent finish may wear off over time. Consider using a reproofing spray suitable for down jackets after cleaning to restore its water-repellency.

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is secured. Check for any gaps or potential drafts. The down may need to be plumped up if it has become compressed.

This can occasionally happen with down products. Gently pull any escaping feathers back through the fabric from the inside if possible. If excessive, contact customer service.
