FAQs

Can I wear this jacket in the rain?

The jacket features a hydrophobic down treatment and a windproof shell, which handles light mist, but it is not waterproof and should be covered by a shell in heavy rain.

How do I store the jacket long-term?

Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid keeping it compressed in its stuff sack for long periods to ensure the down maintains its loft over the years.

Is the down ethically sourced?

Yes, the jacket uses 700FP recycled down, which is a sustainable approach to insulation.

How should I wash the jacket?

Use a specialized down detergent on a gentle cycle, rinse thoroughly, and tumble dry on low with dryer balls.

What is the primary benefit of the Pertex Quantum shell?

Pertex Quantum is highly windproof and lightweight, designed to keep wind chill out while keeping the jacket weight to a minimum.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers starting to poke through the fabric

This is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the gap.

Jacket feels flat or loses loft after washing

The down is likely clumped from moisture; tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to break up the clusters and restore loft.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio for technical activities
  • Highly compressible for easy storage in small packs
  • Windproof outer fabric offers solid weather protection
  • Uses sustainable 700FP recycled down insulation
  • Versatile fit suitable for layering or standalone use

  • Requires specialized washing to maintain down loft
  • Not intended for extreme rain or heavy precipitation
  • Lacks extensive heavy-duty reinforcement for abrasive terrain

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your jacket, ensure the drawcord hem and cuffs are cinched properly during high-wind conditions to prevent heat loss. Compatibility-wise, the jacket serves as an ideal mid-layer under a waterproof hardshell for severe weather. When it comes to care, always use a dedicated down-specific detergent. Wash on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to redistribute the down clusters, preventing clumps and restoring the jacket's original loft.
