Stradivarius Basic hooded puffer jacket - Black

The Stradivarius Basic Hooded Puffer Jacket is made of polyester and offers basic resistance to light moisture, but it is not fully waterproof. It will provide some protection in light rain or snow, but for heavy downpours, a dedicated waterproof outer shell is recommended.

We recommend referring to the brand's size chart, which typically provides measurements for bust, waist, and hips. Compare your personal measurements to the chart to find your best fit. If you plan to layer heavily, consider sizing up.

This jacket is designed for cool to moderately cold temperatures. For very harsh or extreme winter conditions, it may not provide sufficient warmth on its own. You may need to layer it with additional thermal clothing underneath or opt for a heavier-duty winter coat.

The frequency of washing depends on how often you wear it and how dirty it gets. For regular use, washing it once or twice per season is usually sufficient. Over-washing can reduce the loft of the insulation.

No, the hood on the Stradivarius Basic Hooded Puffer Jacket is fixed and not designed to be detachable. It is integrated into the high-neck design for continuous head and neck protection.

This jacket is best suited for casual wear and light activities. While it provides warmth, its design might not offer the flexibility or breathability needed for intense active sports. For high-energy activities, specialized athletic outerwear is more appropriate.

Tumble dry on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help to agitate and redistribute the synthetic insulation, restoring its loft and puffiness. Ensure the jacket is completely dry to prevent mildew.

Rub a graphite pencil, a bar of soap, or a zipper lubricant (like zipper wax) along the teeth of the zipper. Move the zipper pull up and down several times to distribute the lubricant evenly. Clean any visible debris from the zipper teeth.

Check the stopper mechanism on the drawstring. Ensure it is fully engaged. If the stopper is worn, it may need to be replaced. For a temporary fix, you can tie a small knot in the drawstring after adjusting to the desired tightness.

Ensure the jacket was completely dry before storage. Air out the jacket outdoors on a dry, breezy day. If the smell persists, machine wash it according to the care instructions and ensure it is thoroughly dried, ideally with tennis balls in the dryer.

For small tears, use a fabric repair patch designed for synthetic materials, often found in outdoor gear stores. Follow the patch instructions carefully for application. For larger damage, professional repair may be necessary.
