FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a water-repellent finish suitable for light rain and snow, but it is not considered fully waterproof.
Can I wear this for skiing?
While it provides warmth, it lacks the technical features such as a powder skirt or specialized pockets required for dedicated skiing.
How should I clean the jacket?
Machine wash on a delicate cycle with a specialized down cleaner and tumble dry low with dryer balls.
What is the fill power of the down?
This jacket uses 600-fill power down, which offers a great balance of insulation and weight.
Does it have an adjustable hood?
The jacket comes with an attached, fixed three-piece hood designed for a secure fit.
What is the material of the outer shell?
The exterior is crafted from high-quality, durable nylon.
Troubleshooting
Feathers leaking through the fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it through the outer fabric.
Jacket feels flat or loses heat
The down has likely clumped due to moisture; tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Hydrenalite Down Hoodie in peak condition, follow these care guidelines. Always wash the jacket in a front-loading washing machine using a technical down cleaner to ensure the feathers do not clump. After washing, tumble dry the jacket on low heat with several clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down and restore its original loft. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents, as these can strip the water-repellent treatment from the nylon shell. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place rather than keeping it compressed in a stuff sack for extended periods.
