FAQs
What type of weather is this jacket best suited for?
The jacket is ideal for cool to mild conditions. It provides good insulation for autumn and light winter days, and can serve as a warm mid-layer under a waterproof jacket in colder or wetter weather.
How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Always tumble dry on a low setting with dryer balls until completely dry to restore down loft.
Is the water repellency permanent?
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish is not permanent and will degrade over time with use and washing. You may need to reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain its effectiveness.
What does '650 fill power' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the down's loft or insulation quality. 650 fill power indicates good quality down, offering a good warmth-to-weight ratio.
Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?
The jacket has a DWR finish that repels light showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear it with a waterproof outer shell.
What are the benefits of the stitch-through baffle construction?
This construction method helps to keep the down insulation evenly distributed within the jacket, preventing cold spots and maintaining consistent warmth.
How does the jacket pack down?
The jacket is designed to be packed into one of its own hand pockets. Simply turn one pocket inside out, push the jacket into it, and zip it closed for a compact and portable package.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth
Ensure the jacket is fully zipped and the hem is adjusted to seal out drafts. Check that the down has not become compacted; if so, try tumble drying on low with dryer balls to restore loft.
Water not beading off effectively
The DWR finish may have worn off over time. Consider reapplying a PFC-free DWR treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after cleaning.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and a little soapy water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the zipper track.
Jacket appears lumpy or uneven
This is often due to compacted down. Try placing the jacket in a tumble dryer on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down evenly.
