The jacket doesn't seem as warm as expected.
Ensure the jacket is dry. Down insulation loses its insulating properties when wet. Check that the jacket fits properly, as a loose fit can reduce warmth. Consider layering with additional garments.
The jacket is losing down feathers.
This is normal to some extent. Gently push the feathers back into the jacket. Avoid picking at any loose feathers. If excessive, contact Arc'teryx customer service.
The zipper is difficult to operate.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If needed, apply a zipper lubricant.
