Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
It features a TPU membrane that offers significant weather protection against wind and light moisture, but it is not classified as fully waterproof.
What is the insulation ratio?
The jacket is filled with 80% down and 20% feather, providing an ideal balance for warmth and structure.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, it can be machine washed, but you must use a mild down-specific detergent and a delicate cycle, followed by careful tumble drying.
Are the pockets secure?
Yes, the jacket includes two external lower pockets that are equipped with zippers to keep your items secure.
How do the ribbed cuffs help?
The inner knitted rib cuffs create a seal around your wrists, which prevents cold air from traveling up the sleeves.
Is the hood removable?
No, this model features a grown-on (fixed) hood that provides a more secure and consistent barrier against the weather.
Troubleshooting
Feathers escaping through fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.
Jacket losing loft/flat spots
Tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls to fluff up the down clusters.
Zippers sticking or feeling stiff
Clear any debris from the zipper track and apply a small amount of graphite or silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket maintains its performance, proper care is essential. Because of the down filling, avoid compressing the jacket tightly for long periods to prevent clumping. If the jacket gets wet, shake it out and hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. When washing, use a specialized down-care detergent and a gentle cycle; adding tennis balls to the tumble dryer on a low-heat setting can help redistribute the feathers and restore the jacket's 'loft' (fluffiness). Always check the garment's internal care label before cleaning to ensure compliance with specific manufacturer instructions.
