FAQs

Is the hood waterproof?

The hood is designed for general weather protection, but it is best suited for light rain and wind rather than heavy downpours.

Can I wear this in extreme cold?

Yes, the 90/10 down insulation provides significant warmth, though layering is recommended for sub-zero temperatures.

How do I pack the jacket?

The jacket is designed to compress easily into its own internal pocket for convenient storage.

What is the best way to clean the outer shell?

A gentle machine wash at 40 degrees is sufficient. Avoid bleach or heavy detergents that might strip the material's integrity.

Does this jacket have inner pockets?

Yes, it typically features interior utility storage in addition to the external hand pockets.

Troubleshooting

The jacket feels less puffy after washing.

This is often due to clumped down; tumble dry the jacket on low heat with dryer balls to fluff the feathers back up.

Feathers are leaking through the fabric.

Minor shedding is normal for down products; gently pull the feather back into the jacket from the inside rather than pulling it out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Care: Machine wash at a gentle 40-degree cycle. Using a front-loading washer is recommended to prevent excessive agitation.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting, preferably with clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help redistribute the down insulation.
  • Compatibility: The jacket pairs well with technical base layers or standard streetwear. Ensure the touch-fastened cuffs are secured to maintain proper thermal retention.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the jacket hanging up or in a cool, dry place to maintain the loft of the down feathers.
