FAQs

How do I wash the Diablo Down Jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Tumble dry low with tennis balls to restore loft.

What is the Responsible Down Standard (RDS)?

The RDS ensures that the down used in the jacket is ethically sourced and produced, with a focus on animal welfare.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent, not fully waterproof. The DWR finish provides protection against light rain and snow.

How should I store the jacket?

Store the jacket in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain the down's loft and performance.

Can I use fabric softener?

No, avoid using fabric softeners as they can damage the down's loft and reduce its insulating properties.

What kind of activities is this jacket best suited for?

This jacket is best suited for cold-weather activities such as hiking, commuting, and everyday use in chilly conditions.

How do I care for the DWR finish?

Wash and tumble dry the jacket as per care instructions. If water no longer beads on the surface, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment.

Troubleshooting

The jacket isn't as warm as expected.

Ensure you're wearing appropriate layering. Check for any drafts or gaps in the fit. If necessary, consider a warmer base layer or mid-layer.

Down is clumping after washing.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with tennis balls to redistribute the down and restore loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.

Water isn't beading on the jacket's surface.

The DWR finish may need to be refreshed. Wash and tumble dry the jacket according to care instructions. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary.

Zipper is snagging.

Lubricate the zipper with a zipper lubricant or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper; gently work it back and forth to clear any obstructions.
