FAQs
Is this jacket fully waterproof?
No, the jacket is made from a *water-repellent* fabric, which means it will shed light rain and snow. It is not designed to be fully waterproof for heavy downpours or prolonged exposure to wet conditions.
How should I store the jacket during off-season?
Store your down jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for long periods, as this can damage the down's loft and insulation over time. Using a wide-shouldered hanger or laying it flat is ideal.
What does '650-fill-power' mean?
'Fill-power' is a measure of the down's loft and its ability to trap air, indicating its insulating efficiency. A 650-fill-power means the down is high quality, providing excellent warmth for its weight.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Always refer to the care label inside your specific jacket. Generally, down jackets can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and special down detergent, followed by thorough tumble drying with dryer balls to restore loft.
What is the purpose of the two-way zip?
The two-way zip allows you to open the zipper from both the top and the bottom. This is useful for ventilation, accessing trouser pockets, or allowing more ease of movement when sitting without fully unzipping the jacket.
Is the hood removable?
Yes, the Polo Ralph Lauren Gorham Down Jacket features a detachable drawstring hood, allowing you to customize your look and level of protection.
How do I ensure the jacket remains water-repellent?
The water-repellent (DWR) finish can be maintained by following proper washing instructions and, if needed, reapplying a DWR treatment spray designed for technical outerwear. This is typically done after several washes or when you notice water no longer beads on the surface.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less warm or flat after washing.
This is common if the down clumping occurs during drying. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps break up the down clumps and restore the jacket's loft and insulating properties. Ensure it's completely dry before storing.
Zipper is stiff or gets stuck.
Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. For stiffness, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (e.g., beeswax, graphite pencil) to the teeth, then work the zipper up and down several times. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Water is no longer beading on the fabric surface.
The water-repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reactivated or reapplied. Washing and drying can sometimes reactivate it. If not, use a DWR-restoring spray designed for outerwear, following the product's instructions for application.

The two-way zip allows for ventilation from the bottom while keeping the top secure, useful when sitting or driving.

Care Instructions
- Washing: Refer to the care label inside the jacket for specific washing instructions. Typically, down jackets require a gentle cycle with a special down-friendly detergent and cold water.
- Drying: This is crucial for down. Tumble dry on a low heat setting with dryer balls (like tennis balls) to help break up down clumps and restore loft. This process can take several hours. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Store the jacket uncompressed in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid hanging on a thin hanger for extended periods to maintain the down's loft.
- Water-Repellency: Over time, the water-repellent finish may diminish. You can restore it using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray designed for outdoor apparel, following the product's instructions.
