Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket has a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which means it can resist light rain and showers. It is not fully waterproof and should not be relied upon in heavy or prolonged rainfall. For waterproof protection, a dedicated rain jacket should be worn over it.
How do I wash my Loch Down Hooded Jacket?
Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle using a down-specific detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Ensure the jacket is completely dry on a low heat tumble setting with dryer balls to restore loft.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold temperatures?
The jacket provides good insulation for cool to cold weather. For extremely cold conditions, it is best used as part of a layering system, with a thermal base layer and a windproof or waterproof outer shell.
What does '650 fill power' mean?
Fill power is a measure of the insulation's loft or fluffiness. 650 fill power is considered good quality down, offering a good warmth-to-weight ratio.
How do I pack the jacket into its pocket?
Turn the jacket inside out and fold it into one of the hand pockets. The pocket is designed to contain the folded jacket, making it compact for travel or storage.
What is a PFC-free DWR finish?
PFC-free DWR means the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain per- or poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are considered more environmentally friendly.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth.
Ensure all zips and openings are fully closed. Check if the down has lost its loft due to moisture; if so, dry according to care instructions. Consider layering with additional insulating garments.
Water not beading off the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for synthetic fabrics after washing and drying the jacket.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Down is escaping from the seams.
This can occasionally happen with down-filled products. Do not pull on the escaping down. Gently push it back into the baffle. If it is a persistent issue, contact customer support.
