FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating, which provides resistance against light showers and moisture. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I wash the jacket?
Machine wash at 30°C or lower on a gentle cycle, ideally using a down-specific detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach. Always refer to the care label on your jacket for precise instructions.
Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, the jacket can be tumble dried on a low heat setting. Adding dryer balls or clean tennis balls to the dryer helps to re-fluff the down and restore its loft.
What does '650 fill power' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the down's loft and insulating capability. 650 fill power indicates good quality down that provides warmth without significant weight.
What is the fit like?
The jacket has a slim fit, designed to be more streamlined. If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear thick layers underneath, consider sizing up.
How does the jacket pack down?
The jacket can be folded and packed into one of its own hand pockets, making it very compact and easy to carry when not in use.
What material is the outer fabric made of?
The outer fabric is 100% Polyamide (Nylon) with a ripstop construction for added durability.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Ensure the down is evenly distributed by gently shaking the jacket. If the jacket has become wet, dry it thoroughly on a low heat tumble setting with dryer balls. Moisture significantly reduces down's insulating properties.
Zippers are stiff or sticking
Gently rub a graphite pencil lead or a specialized zipper lubricant along the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
DWR coating is no longer effective
Wash the jacket according to care instructions, then tumble dry on low heat. For enhanced water repellency, consider applying a re-proofing spray specifically designed for outdoor apparel after washing and drying.
Down is escaping from seams
This is uncommon with stitch-through construction but can happen. For minor instances, gently pull the down back through the fabric. For significant leakage, contact customer support or a repair specialist.
