It is water-repellent, meaning it can handle light snow or drizzle, but it is not waterproof and should not be used as a primary raincoat.
Use a front-loading washing machine on a delicate cycle with a detergent specifically formulated for down, then tumble dry on low with tennis balls.
Yes, it features an integrated, stowable hood that tucks neatly into the collar when you do not need it.
The jacket has a boxy, retro fit that is generally generous. If you prefer a more tailored look, you might consider sizing down.
Yes, the shell is constructed from durable, recycled nylon ripstop.
Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with tennis balls to fluff the down feathers back into position.
This is common with down products; do not pull the feather out, as it creates a larger hole. Gently push it back through to the inside.
This jacket requires minimal setup; simply shake it out upon first use to allow the down insulation to expand and reach its full loft. Regarding compatibility, the boxy cut makes it highly compatible with thick mid-layers, such as wool sweaters or fleece hoodies, allowing for modular temperature control. For care, this garment is machine washable, but it is critical to use a gentle cycle with a down-specific detergent. Always ensure the jacket is thoroughly dried—ideally in a dryer with clean tennis balls—to break up any down clusters and restore the puffiness of the insulation.
