FAQs

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is detachable and can be easily removed or reattached using its zipper and press stud fastenings.

What is the jacket made of?

The main fabric is 100% recycled polyester ripstop, the lining is 100% polyamide (nylon), and the padding consists of 75% duck down and 25% duck feathers.

How should I choose the right size?

This jacket tends to run large. It is generally recommended to size down from your usual size for an optimal fit. Refer to the size chart if available, and consider the 'model wears size medium' note for reference.

Can I wear this jacket in heavy rain?

The jacket offers good resistance against wind and light moisture due to its ripstop shell. However, it is not fully waterproof and prolonged exposure to heavy rain may lead to the down becoming wet, which can reduce its insulating properties. For heavy rain, a dedicated waterproof shell is recommended.

How do I store the jacket during off-season?

Ensure the jacket is completely clean and dry before storing. Hang it on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing it into a small bag for extended periods, as this can flatten the down and reduce its loft over time.

Does this jacket use ethically sourced down?

Yes, the product description mentions that the down/feather fill is RDS (Responsible Down Standard) certified, indicating ethical sourcing practices.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels less warm or flat after washing.

This is common with down jackets. Tumble dry on low heat with 2-3 clean tennis balls or dryer balls. The balls help agitate the down, breaking up clumps and restoring its natural loft and insulating properties. This process may take several hours, and you might need to periodically remove and fluff the jacket by hand.

Zipper is stiff or catches.

Check if any fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. Carefully pull the fabric away. If the zipper is still stiff, apply a small amount of zipper lubricant (like a graphite pencil or beeswax) to the teeth and gently work the zipper up and down several times.

Water resistance seems reduced.

While the ripstop shell offers some water resistance, it's not fully waterproof. For enhanced water repellency, you can use a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray specifically designed for synthetic outerwear. Always follow the product's instructions for application.

Machine Wash: Wash separately in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent designed for down or technical outerwear.2. Drying: Tumble dry on low heat with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls. This helps to break up clumps of down and restore loft. Drying may take several hours. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew and preserve the down's integrity.3. Do Not Bleach or Iron: Bleaching can damage the fabric and insulation. Ironing is generally not recommended for puffer jackets.4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the jacket for long periods, as this can reduce the down's loft. Important Note: Always check the specific care label inside your jacket for the most accurate instructions.
