Troubleshooting
Reduced water repellency
Reactivate the water repellency by ironing the outer shell (without steam, protected by a towel) or by tumble drying with tennis balls. Ensure the garment is clean before attempting reactivation.
Down clumping after washing
Tumble dry the jacket with 3 clean tennis balls on a low heat setting. This helps to break up clumps and restore the down's loft and fluffiness.
Jacket feels less warm than usual
The down may have lost some loft. Follow the tumble-drying instructions with tennis balls to re-fluff the insulation. Ensure all zippers are properly closed to prevent heat loss.
