FAQs
Is the jacket fully waterproof?
No, it is water-resistant, which means it will shed light precipitation but will become saturated in heavy or persistent rain.
Can I machine wash this jacket?
Yes, use a front-loading machine on a gentle cycle with a dedicated down cleaner, then tumble dry low with dryer balls.
What is the difference between the down and Heatseeker insulation?
The down provides superior warmth and loft, while the Heatseeker Eco synthetic panels provide better breathability and warmth-when-wet properties in high-movement areas.
Does it include a storage bag?
The jacket does not include a dedicated stuff sack; it is intended to be stored hanging to protect the insulation.
Is the hood removable?
No, the hood is a fixed component of the jacket design.
How should I store this jacket during the summer?
Hang the jacket in a breathable garment bag in a cool, dry place, keeping it away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Down feathers poking through fabric
This is common with down garments; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside and rub the fabric to reseal the weave.
Jacket losing loft over time
The jacket likely needs a proper wash and tumble dry with dryer balls to redistribute the down and restore loft.
Zipper sticking
Ensure no fabric is caught in the track and clean any debris from the zipper teeth with a soft brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wash in a front-loading machine with mild, down-specific detergent on a gentle cycle.
