Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-repellent, meaning it is designed to handle light rain and moisture, not heavy downpours.
What does 750-fill power mean?
It refers to the quality and loft of the down; a higher number indicates that the down traps more air, providing more warmth for its weight.
How should I store the jacket?
Store it hanging in a dry place. Avoid compressing it in a tight space for long periods to maintain the down's loft.
Does it fit true to size?
The Chassis jacket has an athletic, streamlined fit. If you prefer to wear thick layers underneath, you may want to consider your layering needs.
Can this be worn as a mid-layer?
Yes, its streamlined design makes it an excellent mid-layer under a larger overcoat or waterproof shell.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is common with high-fill power down. Gently pull the feather back in from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Jacket losing water repellency
Apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment after washing to restore the fabric's water-shedding capability.
Clumping of down after washing
Tumble dry on low heat for an extended period with dryer balls to break up clumps and regain loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the integrity of the 750-fill down and the water-repellent finish, proper care is essential. It is recommended to wash the jacket in a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with a dedicated down detergent. Avoid bleach or fabric softeners, as these can strip the fabric of its water-repellent properties. Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore loft. Always ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing it, and hang it in a cool, dry place to prevent compression of the insulation.
