FAQs

Is this bodywarmer suitable for very cold weather?

The Hillpack II Bodywarmer provides good insulation for moderate temperatures. For very cold conditions, it is best used as a layering piece over warmer base layers and under a heavy outer jacket.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The bodywarmer should fit comfortably over your intended base layer without being too tight or too loose. It should allow for full arm mobility. Check the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.

Will this keep me dry in heavy rain?

This garment features a water-repellent finish, which is effective against light showers and mist. It is not waterproof and will not keep you dry in prolonged or heavy rain.

Can I put this in the washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash it on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.

What does 'down-free fill' mean?

Down-free fill means the insulation is made from synthetic materials, not from the feathers of ducks or geese. This often makes the garment easier to care for and can maintain insulating properties even when damp.

How should I store the bodywarmer when not in use?

Store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it tightly for long periods, as this can affect the loft and insulating properties of the fill over time.

Troubleshooting

Insulation feels less effective after washing

Ensure the garment is completely dry. You may need to tumble dry on a low heat with a dryer ball to help re-fluff the insulation.

Water repellency is reduced

The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Consider reapplying a specialized fabric waterproofer suitable for synthetic materials after cleaning.

Zipper is stiff or snagging

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
