FAQs
What material is the jacket made from?
The Stradivarius Basic Hooded Puffer Jacket is made from 100% Polyester for both its outer shell and insulation.
Is the hood removable?
Based on the description, the jacket features an 'integrated hood', which typically means it is not designed to be detachable.
How should I wash this jacket?
It is recommended to machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat with tennis balls to re-fluff the insulation. Always check the care label inside the jacket for specific instructions.
Is this jacket waterproof?
While Polyester offers some water resistance, this jacket is designed for light rain and general cool weather, not heavy downpours. It is not fully waterproof.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
This jacket provides good warmth for cool to cold weather. For very cold winter conditions or extreme sub-zero temperatures, it is advisable to layer it with additional thermal clothing underneath for optimal warmth.
How do I adjust the hem?
The jacket features an elasticated drawstring with stoppers at the hem. You can pull on the drawstring and use the stoppers to cinch the hem tighter or loosen it to your desired fit.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels less puffy after washing.
This is common. Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls will help break up any clumped insulation and restore the loft. Repeat drying cycles if necessary, checking periodically.
Zipper snags or gets stuck.
Gently wiggle the slider while applying slight pressure. Avoid forcing it. Check for any fabric caught in the teeth and carefully pull it free. A tiny amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can also help lubricate it.
Jacket doesn't feel warm enough.
Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the hem drawstring is tightened to trap warmth. For colder temperatures, consider layering a thermal base layer or a thick sweater underneath the jacket.

Care Instructions
Proper care is essential to maintain the jacket's loft, warmth, and appearance.
- Check Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the jacket's inner label first.
- Washing: Generally, puffer jackets made of polyester should be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to re-fluff the insulation and prevent clumping. It may take several cycles to fully dry and re-distribute the fill. Do not air dry flat as this can lead to uneven drying and clumping of the fill.
- Storage: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, as this can reduce its insulating properties.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, gently spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry thoroughly.
