The jacket is insulated with 154g (size large) of 90/10 650 fill power down.
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating which will brush off light showers, but it is not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.

Can I put this jacket in the dryer?
Yes, it is recommended to tumble dry on a low heat setting with tennis balls to help restore the down's loft and even distribution.
What does 'PFC-free DWR' mean?
PFC-free DWR means the Durable Water Repellent finish does not contain per- and polyfluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
How does the jacket pack down?
The jacket can be packed down into one of its hand pockets, making it very convenient for storage and travel.
What is the fit of this jacket?

Troubleshooting

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the teeth.
