Product Information
Full details
This EA7 Core Identity packable down jacket is designed for adult males seeking warmth and comfort without bulk. Its key benefit is the goose-down padding combined with technical fabric for superior insulation, suitable for everyday wear. A minor caveat is that while packable, it requires careful folding to fit into its dust bag effectively.

FAQs
How do I pack this jacket efficiently?
Lay the jacket flat, zip it up, and fold the sleeves across the body. Then, fold the jacket in thirds, starting from the bottom. Roll it tightly and place it into the provided dust bag.
Can this jacket be worn in heavy rain?
The technical fabric offers some resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, it is recommended to wear a waterproof outer shell over the jacket.
What is the primary purpose of the goose-down padding?
The goose-down padding provides excellent thermal insulation, trapping body heat to keep you warm in cold weather while remaining lightweight.
How should I clean minor stains?
For small stains, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a small amount of mild detergent. Gently dab the affected area and rinse with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Is this jacket suitable for extreme cold?
This jacket is designed for moderate to cold temperatures. For extremely cold conditions, layering with additional insulation might be necessary.
What are the benefits of the stand collar?
The stand collar provides extra protection for the neck area against wind and cold, enhancing overall warmth.
Can I machine wash and dry this jacket?
While some specialized treatments might allow it, dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the down and fabric integrity. Always check the care label for specific instructions.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less puffy after storage.
Gently tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls to help restore the down's loft. Alternatively, air dry and gently shake to redistribute the filling.
Logo appears to be peeling.
Avoid direct ironing on the logo. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron on the reverse side of the fabric.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to pull the fabric free. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can also help.
Jacket lost its water repellency.
The water repellency may have diminished over time. Consider applying a suitable re-waterproofing spray designed for technical outerwear, following the product's instructions.
