FAQs
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses synthetic down fill, which provides lightweight warmth similar to natural down but performs better when wet.
Is this jacket suitable for heavy rain?
The jacket features a water-repellent shell, which is suitable for light rain and snow. For prolonged exposure to heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer would be recommended.
How should I wash the jacket?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like colors, using a small amount of liquid detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat.
Can I wear this jacket for intense physical activity?
Yes, the articulated sleeves and lightweight design are engineered for high-intensity pursuits, allowing for a good range of motion and temperature regulation.
What is the purpose of the reflective branding?
The reflective Trailberg branding is a safety feature designed to increase your visibility in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or at night.
How do I adjust the hood for better protection?
The jacket features a toggle adjustable hood (three-piece quilted construction) that can be tightened using the internal toggles to provide a snugger fit and better protection against wind and elements.
What are the pocket configurations?
The jacket includes secure zip pockets on the exterior and an inside zipped pocket for convenient storage of personal items.
Troubleshooting
Jacket not providing enough warmth.
Ensure all zippers and closures are fastened. Wear appropriate base and mid-layers beneath the jacket. Check if the water-repellent finish needs reapplication, which can sometimes impact breathability and perceived warmth.
Water is soaking through the shell.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions. Ensure seams are intact and not compromised.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Jacket feels bulky or loses loft.
After washing, ensure the jacket is properly dried on a low heat setting with dryer balls or tennis balls to help redistribute and re-fluff the synthetic insulation.
