FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for warmth. While it uses polyester fabric, it is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.
Can I remove the hood?
Yes, the hood is detachable for increased versatility and a cleaner look.
What does 600 fill power mean?
Fill power measures the loft or 'fluffiness' of down. 600 fill power provides a great balance of lightweight warmth and comfort for daily use.
How do I ensure the down remains ethically sourced?
This jacket uses Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified down, which tracks the supply chain to ensure high welfare standards.
Can this jacket be used for skiing?
It is well-suited for resort skiing and winter trips, though it is primarily designed as a warm lifestyle and insulation piece.
How should I store the jacket during summer?
Store it hanging in a breathable garment bag in a dry location, away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers are poking through the fabric
This is normal for down products; do not pull the feather out. Instead, pull it back into the jacket from the inside to avoid creating a larger hole.
Zipper feels stiff or hard to pull
Check for debris or fabric caught in the teeth. If clear, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the tracks.
Jacket feels flat after washing
Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the down back into place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to proper care instructions. Always check the internal garment tag for specific wash temperatures. Because it uses down insulation, it is recommended to wash with a technical detergent designed for down garments to prevent the feathers from clumping. When drying, add clean tennis balls or dryer balls to the dryer to help re-loft the down. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place rather than compressing it in a stuff sack for long periods, which helps preserve the insulation's ability to trap air.
