FAQs

How do I wash the Rab Valiance Jacket?

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low heat.

Can I use regular detergent?

No, regular detergents can damage the down insulation. Use a down-specific detergent instead.

How do I dry the jacket?

Tumble dry on low heat with dryer balls. This helps restore the loft of the down.

What should I do if the jacket gets wet?

Dry the jacket as soon as possible. Avoid storing it wet as this can damage the down and cause mildew.

How do I store the jacket?

Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods to preserve the loft of the down.

What if the jacket gets a tear?

For small tears, use a patch kit specifically designed for down jackets. For larger tears, consult a professional repair service.

What are the size options?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as warm as expected.

Ensure the jacket is clean and dry. Check for any areas where the down may have shifted or clumped together. Consider layering with additional warm garments.

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the jacket's waterproof treatment. Reapply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment if necessary, following the manufacturer's instructions.

Down is clumping after washing.

Ensure the jacket is completely dry after washing. Use dryer balls to help redistribute the down. Fluff the jacket to restore loft.
