FAQs
What is the fill power of the down used in the Tundra Jacket?
The jacket is filled with 220g of 100% recycled down with a fill power of 700+.
Is the jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a PFC-free DWR finish which provides water resistance, making it suitable for light rain or snow. It is not fully waterproof and is not designed for prolonged exposure to heavy downpours.
How do I wash the Montane Tundra Jacket?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a down-specific detergent. Use a front-loading machine and rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach.
How should I dry the jacket after washing?
Tumble dry on a low heat setting with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up down clumps and restore loft. This may require multiple cycles.
What does 'recycled down' mean in terms of performance?
Recycled down is sourced from post-consumer or post-industrial materials. While performance can be very good, slight variations may exist compared to virgin down, but it offers significant environmental benefits.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
The Tundra Jacket provides substantial warmth and is suitable for cold weather. For extremely cold or harsh winter conditions, layering with additional warm clothing underneath is recommended.
What is the purpose of the PFC-free DWR treatment?
The PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment helps water bead off the fabric surface, keeping the outer material dry and maintaining the loft and insulating properties of the down. Using PFC-free treatments is an environmentally conscious choice.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is losing loft or clumping.
This is often due to moisture absorption or improper drying. Ensure the jacket is fully dry by tumble drying on a low heat with dryer balls for an extended period. If washing is needed, use a down-specific cleaner and ensure a thorough rinse.
Water repellency seems reduced.
The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then reapply a PFC-free DWR spray or wash, following the product's guidelines. Allow it to dry completely.
Jacket feels less warm than usual.
Check for any signs of moisture within the insulation. Ensure the jacket is completely dry and has been properly re-lofted using a tumble dryer with dryer balls. Significant loss of warmth might indicate damage to the down or insulation, which may require professional assessment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to improve movement.
