FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is designed for cold, dry conditions and offers some weather resistance, but it is not a fully waterproof rain jacket.
How should I store the jacket in summer?
Store it hanging in a cool, dry place, rather than in its compressed stuff sack, to maintain the down's insulation capacity.
Can I machine wash this?
Yes, using a gentle cycle and specialized down detergent is recommended, followed by low-heat tumble drying.
Does the hood adjust?
Yes, it features a cinch cord that allows you to tighten the hood around your face for wind protection.
What does 90/10 down mean?
It refers to the ratio of down clusters to feathers, with 90% being insulating down clusters for maximum warmth.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm over time
The down may have clumped together; tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls to restore the loft.
Feathers poking through the fabric
This is normal for down jackets; do not pull them out. Instead, gently massage the fabric to pull the feather back into the baffle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket uses natural duck down, proper care is essential to ensure longevity. Avoid long-term storage in a compressed state, as this can degrade the down's loft. When cleaning, use a specialized down-wash detergent and ideally tumble dry with clean tennis balls to help redistribute the down clusters. The jacket fits true to size, allowing for moderate layering underneath, such as a thin base layer or a lightweight fleece. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage to the nylon shell.
