FAQs

What is the primary material of this jacket?

The jacket is made of technical nylon on the exterior and is filled with down for insulation.

Can this jacket be worn in very cold weather?

This jacket is ideal for mid-seasons or as a warm layer. For very cold weather, it is recommended to wear it over other warm layers and potentially under a heavier, insulated coat.

How do I pack this jacket for travel?

The jacket is designed to be easily compressible and comes with a special clutch. Fold it neatly and place it inside the provided clutch for compact storage.

What is the specific model number (MPN)?

The MPN for this specific item (Black, XS) is XW001921AF18757UC001.

Is this jacket suitable for men?

No, this jacket is designed specifically for women, featuring a fitted silhouette.

How should I clean the jacket to maintain its loft?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. Ensure it is completely dry to prevent down clumping.

What does 'ultralight' mean in the product description?

'Ultralight' refers to the jacket's low weight relative to its insulating properties, making it comfortable and easy to wear or carry.

Troubleshooting

Down clumping after washing

Ensure the jacket is completely dry. Re-tumble on low heat with dryer balls, adding more time as needed until the down is evenly distributed and has regained its loft.

Jacket seems less warm than expected

The jacket is designed for mid-seasons or as a layering piece. Ensure it is worn over appropriate base layers and consider adding a heavier outer shell in colder temperatures. Check that the down has not become compressed or wet.

Fabric appears wrinkled after being stored

Hang the jacket in a steamy bathroom for a short period or tumble dry on a very low heat setting with a damp cloth for a few minutes to help release wrinkles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and very warm for its weight.
  • Folds down small for easy packing and travel.
  • Stylish, modern design suitable for various occasions.
  • Durable technical nylon exterior.
  • Versatile layering piece for mid-season weather.

Cons

  • Sleeveless design offers limited arm warmth.
  • May not be sufficient for very cold winter conditions on its own.
  • Requires specific care for down filling to maintain loft.
  • Fitted silhouette might not suit all body types or preferences for looser fits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-wear garment. Ensure it is fully unfurled after unpacking from its clutch to allow the down to regain its natural loft.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as a layering piece. It pairs well with sweaters, hoodies, long-sleeved shirts, and other outerwear for added warmth. It is suitable for adult women.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of mild detergent. It is recommended to wash the jacket with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help keep the down evenly distributed.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. Continue tumbling until completely dry; this may take several hours. Ensure the down is fully dry to prevent clumping.
  4. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse the area. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  5. Storage: Store loosely to allow the down to breathe. Avoid compressing it for long periods when not in its travel clutch.
