Product Information

Full details

This Ralph Lauren Down Padded Puffer Jacket in Black, size 5, is designed for young boys seeking warmth and style. Its key benefit is the 650 cuin Fill Power down insulation combined with a water-repellent outer, offering excellent protection against cold and light rain. A potential caveat is that while the hood is detachable, it fastens with snaps, which might require adult assistance for younger children. This jacket merges Ralph Lauren's signature Ivy League aesthetic with practical features for active youngsters.

FAQs

What is the fill power of the down insulation?

The jacket features 650 fill power down, which provides a good balance of warmth and weight.

Is the jacket fully waterproof?

The jacket has a water-repellent ripstop outer, which means it can resist moisture for a limited time but is not fully waterproof. It is suitable for light rain or snow, but not prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.

How do I remove or attach the hood?

The hood is attached and detached using snap closures located around the neckline. Align the snaps and press firmly to secure or pull apart to detach.

Can I wash the jacket in a regular washing machine?

While dry cleaning is recommended, machine washing is possible on a gentle, cold cycle with mild detergent. It is crucial to tumble dry on low with tennis balls to restore the down's loft. Check the care label for specific instructions.

What does 'ripstop' material mean?

Ripstop fabric is a woven material that is reinforced with extra threads at regular intervals, making it highly resistant to tearing and ripping. This enhances the jacket's durability.

How should I store the jacket when not in use?

Store the jacket loosely in a breathable garment bag or on a hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed in a bag for extended periods, as this can reduce the down's loft.

What age group is this jacket suitable for?

This specific variant is size 5 (UK), designed for young boys within that age and size range.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the hood is attached correctly and snapped shut. Check that the zipper is fully closed. For colder days, consider layering additional warm clothing underneath.

Water-repellent finish seems less effective

The water-repellent treatment can diminish over time. Consider applying a re-waterproofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after cleaning, following the product's instructions.

Down clumping after washing

This can happen if the down did not dry evenly. Place the jacket back in the dryer on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Gently break up any clumps by hand while it tumbles. Ensure complete dryness.

Zipper is stuck

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a pencil graphite or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

This jacket requires no assembly. Simply unpack and it is ready to wear.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed for children's wear. The size 5 UK refers to a specific age and height range for young boys.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: It is recommended to dry clean the jacket to maintain the loft and integrity of the down insulation. If machine washing is necessary, use a front-loading washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Add a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down during the drying process.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before removing it from the dryer. This may take several cycles.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to maintain its loft.
  • Cleaning Hood Snaps: Ensure snaps are clean and dry to prevent any sticking or damage.
