Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?

The jacket has a water-resistant finish, which is effective against light rain or showers. For heavy or prolonged rain, a waterproof jacket should be worn over it.

What does RDS certified mean?

RDS stands for Responsible Down Standard. It certifies that the down and feathers used in the product come from animals that have been treated ethically and in accordance with strict animal welfare requirements.

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls until completely dry.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

This jacket provides good warmth for its weight and is suitable for cool conditions. For freezing temperatures, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer beneath a warmer, more protective outer shell.

How do I make the jacket more compact for packing?

The jacket is designed to be packable. Turn it inside out, fold or roll it tightly, and stow it in its own pocket or a separate stuff sack for maximum compression.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the Animal product warranty information for details on the warranty period applicable to this jacket. This information is typically found on the product tag or the manufacturer's website.

Troubleshooting

Jacket not providing enough warmth

Ensure the jacket is fully dry and the down has been re-fluffed (tumble dry on low with dryer balls). Consider layering with additional garments for colder conditions.

Water resistance seems reduced

The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need replenishing. Consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-proofer suitable for technical outerwear after cleaning.

Down feathers are escaping

This can occasionally happen with down products. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the opposite side of the fabric. Avoid excessive pulling. If extensive leakage occurs, contact customer support.

Jacket smells after washing

Ensure the jacket is thoroughly rinsed and completely dry. Incomplete drying can lead to a 'wet down' smell. Re-tumble dry on low heat if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent warmth for its weight.
  • Water-resistant finish adds versatility in changing weather.
  • RDS certified down ensures ethical sourcing.
  • Highly packable design makes it convenient for travel and storage.
  • Sleek and practical design suitable for various outdoor activities.

Cons

  • May not provide sufficient warmth for very cold or extreme weather conditions on its own.
  • Down insulation can lose insulating properties if it becomes thoroughly wet.
  • Requires specific care to maintain down loft and water resistance.
  • Limited number of pockets compared to some outdoor jackets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jacket requires no setup. It is ready to wear upon unpacking.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, this jacket pairs well with various casual and outdoor wear, including base layers, t-shirts, sweaters, jeans, and hiking trousers. It can be worn as an outer layer in mild conditions or as a mid-layer under a waterproof shell in wet or windy weather.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the down and restore its loft. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for extended periods to maintain the down's loft.
  • Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid over-wetting the down.
