Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always refer to the garment tag for specific washing instructions. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a down-safe detergent to protect the insulation loft. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the water-resistant coating of the nylon shell. For drying, use a tumble dryer on low heat and include clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help fluff the down and restore the jacket's signature "puffed" appearance. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain its insulating properties.
