Troubleshooting
Down feathers are clumping together.
Wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions, using dryer balls to help redistribute the down.
The jacket is not as warm as expected.
Ensure the jacket is completely dry and the down is properly lofted. Check for any areas where insulation may have compressed. Consider wearing appropriate base and mid-layers.
The outer fabric is not repelling water effectively.
Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment to the outer fabric. Follow the manufacturer's instructions.
