FAQs

Is the jacket waterproof?

It is water-resistant, designed to handle light rain and wind, but is not fully waterproof for heavy, prolonged exposure.

What is the insulation made of?

The jacket uses a blend of 90% down and 10% waterfowl insulation for premium warmth.

Does it have internal pockets?

Yes, the design typically includes internal storage to keep your essentials secure.

Can I wear this in extreme alpine conditions?

While very warm, it is designed for general outdoor and urban use; for extreme, high-altitude alpine conditions, consider pairing it with a technical shell.

How should I choose the right size?

The jacket has a boxy, retro fit. If you prefer a more tailored look, you may want to size down from your usual preference.

Troubleshooting

Down feathers leaking through seams

This is common with new down garments. Gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.

Jacket feels flat after washing

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with dryer balls to fluff up the down clusters and restore loft.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your jacket remains in top condition, follow these care guidelines. The jacket is machine washable; always wash at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle. For drying, it is highly recommended to tumble dry on low heat with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down insulation and restore the jacket's signature loft. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the water-resistant coating of the shell material. When storing, avoid compressing the jacket for long periods to maintain its warmth-retaining structure.
