FAQs

How do I wash the jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low with tennis balls.

Can I use bleach on the jacket?

How do I store the jacket?

Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods.

Is the jacket waterproof?

No, the jacket is water-repellent due to the DWR finish. It is not designed to be fully waterproof.

What kind of detergent should I use?

Use a mild detergent. Avoid detergents with fabric softeners, as they can reduce the DWR performance.

What are the materials of the jacket?

Troubleshooting

The jacket doesn't seem warm enough.

Ensure you are wearing appropriate base and mid-layers for the weather conditions. Check that the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted to seal in warmth.

The jacket is losing its loft.

Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with tennis balls to redistribute the insulation. Avoid storing the jacket compressed.

Water is soaking through the jacket.

The DWR finish may need re-treating. Apply a DWR spray according to the product instructions. Remember, the jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. Consider wearing a waterproof outer layer in heavy rain.
