FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
No, it features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish designed to shed light rain and moisture, but it is not intended for heavy, sustained downpours.
Can I layer this under another jacket?
Yes, because the material is lightweight and the cut is a regular fit, it works exceptionally well as a mid-layer under a parka or wool coat.
How do I choose the right size?
The jacket follows standard sizing. If you prefer a loose fit for heavy layering, you may consider sizing up; otherwise, your usual size should fit comfortably.
Is the jacket machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle. Always check the care label on the garment for specific temperature settings.
What is the primary material used?
The jacket is constructed from recycled polyester, chosen for its lightweight durability and environmental sustainability.
Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a specialized DWR spray treatment to restore the water-repellent layer.
Down filling appears uneven or flat after washing
Tumble dry the jacket on a low setting with dryer balls to fluff the internal insulation and restore even distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This garment is ready to wear straight out of the box. Because it features a regular fit, it accommodates standard sizing, though you may want to size up if you plan to wear thick sweaters or hoodies underneath. To maintain the jacket's water-repellent properties and material quality, adhere to the following care instructions: machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners that can clog the technical fibers, and tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down filling and maintain loft.
