Polo Ralph Lauren Puffer Jacket - Blue - S

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be easily removed or reattached using its zipper and press stud fastenings.

The main fabric is 100% recycled polyester ripstop, the lining is 100% polyamide (nylon), and the padding consists of 75% duck down and 25% duck feathers.

This jacket tends to run large. It is generally recommended to size down from your usual size for an optimal fit. Refer to the size chart if available, and consider the 'model wears size medium' note for reference.

The jacket offers good resistance against wind and light moisture due to its ripstop shell. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to the down becoming wet, which can reduce its insulating properties. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell is recommended.

Ensure the jacket is completely clean and dry before storing. Hang it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it into a small bag for extended periods, as this can flatten the down and reduce its loft over time.

Yes, the product description mentions that the down/feather fill is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified, indicating ethical sourcing practices.

This is common with down jackets. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help agitate the down, breaking up clumps and restoring its natural loft and insulating properties. This process may take several hours, and you might need to periodically remove and fluff the jacket by hand.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down several times.

While the ripstop shell offers some water resistance, it's not fully waterproof. For enhanced water repellency, you can use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outerwear. Always follow the product's instructions for application.
