FAQs
What type of insulation does this jacket use?
The jacket uses 160g of synthetic insulation, which is made from 100% recycled materials.
Is the jacket waterproof or water-resistant?
The jacket features a water-repellent finish on the shell fabric. This means it can shed light rain and moisture but is not fully waterproof. For heavy or prolonged rain, a dedicated waterproof jacket is recommended.
How should I clean the jacket?
You can machine wash the jacket at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid using bleach and do not iron. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry.
Can I wear this jacket in very cold winter conditions?
The jacket provides good warmth for cool to cold weather. For extremely low temperatures, it is best used as part of a layering system with warmer base layers and potentially an additional insulating layer underneath.
What does 'grown-on hood' mean?
A 'grown-on hood' means the hood is permanently attached to the main body of the jacket during manufacturing. It cannot be detached or folded away into a collar.
What is PFC-free DWR?
PFC-free DWR stands for Perfluorinated Compound-free Durable Water Repellent. It's a type of coating applied to fabrics to make water bead off the surface. PFC-free treatments are considered more environmentally friendly than older PFC-based treatments.
Does the jacket have an adjustable hem?
Yes, the jacket features an adjustable drawcord hem, allowing you to tighten it around the waist to prevent drafts and improve heat retention.
Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too bulky.
This jacket is designed for warmth and may have a regular fit. For a more streamlined feel, consider layering with thinner base layers. Ensure the hem and cuffs are adjusted correctly to prevent air gaps.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The water-repellent finish is designed for light rain. For prolonged or heavy rain, a waterproof outer layer may be necessary. Reapplying a DWR treatment can help restore water repellency after significant wear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider back and forth. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth can help.
Jacket has lost its loft/insulation effectiveness.
Synthetic insulation can sometimes clump after washing. Ensure the jacket is properly dried according to care instructions, which may include low-heat tumble drying to help re-fluff the insulation. If the issue persists, the insulation may have reached the end of its effective lifespan.
